Question 1

BLANKETS

Accepted Answer

Our blankets come to you as they came off the loom—the cotton raw and unwashed.
Before first use, wash separately in cold water on a gentle cycle. Air drying is preferred to prevent excessive shrinking, but you may tumble dry on a low, delicate setting just long enough to remove moisture—do not use high heat. May be dry cleaned.
Some shrinkage will occur as the weave tightens, but much of it will ease with use. Like all cotton, the blanket will soften and relax more with every wash.

Question 2

PILLOW COVERS

Accepted Answer

Our pillow covers are handcrafted with care and meant to age beautifully—each one bearing the subtle character of the hands that made them.
Wash separately in cold water on a gentle cycle. Air dry flat or hang in the shade to preserve shape and tone. Iron as needed. Do not bleach.
Some natural variation and softening will occur over time. This is part of the cotton’s charm—each wash bringing a more relaxed, lived-in feel.

Question 3

TABLE LINENS

Accepted Answer

Our table linens are made from natural cotton and hand-embroidered with care—each one a quiet celebration of craftsmanship.
Machine wash cold on a delicate or hand-wash setting. Lay flat or hang to dry, gently reshaping while damp. Iron on the reverse with medium heat as needed.
To preserve their color and stitching, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight—fading is natural over time, especially with richly dyed threads.

Question 4

STONEWARE

Accepted Answer

Each piece of our stoneware is handcrafted and built to last.

Dishwasher and microwave safe, though handwashing is recommended to preserve the finish over time. Harsh cleaners, scouring pads and scrubbing brushes may scratch and damage the surface. Avoid sudden temperature changes, which may cause cracking. Do not place directly on an open flame or stovetop.

Variations in glaze and texture are a natural result of artisanal production and to be expected.

Question 5

LEATHER

Accepted Answer

Our leather goods are made to grow more beautiful with age—each one shaped slowly, by hand, from locally sourced vegetable-tanned cowhide.

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth for regular maintenance. Avoid water, oils, or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can dry out or fade the leather. For deeper care, apply leather conditioner sparingly and always test on a small area first.
Each hide carries natural marks and variations in tone and texture. Over time, your piece will soften, darken, and develop a patina that is uniquely yours.

Question 6

RUGS & UPCYCLED CLOTHS

Accepted Answer

Our rugs and upcycled cloths have traveled a long way to get here—woven with care and full of character from their past lives.
To help them settle in and remove any creases from the journey, we recommend a gentle wash before first use. Machine wash separately in cold water with mild soap on a gentle cycle. Lay flat or hang to dry, reshaping as needed while damp.

Over time, they’ll soften, flatten, and make themselves at home.

Question 7

HAMMOCKS

Accepted Answer

Our hammocks are handwoven from natural cotton and built to last—but they prefer a gentle touch when it comes to care.
While machine washing is possible, we don’t recommend it unless truly necessary. As a gentler alternative, soak the hammock in a bathtub or large basin with cold water and mild soap, agitating gently by hand. If using a machine, first tie the suspension cords and bundle the tassels to prevent tangling. Wash separately on a delicate or hand-wash cycle. Do not heat dry—always hang to air dry.

With time and sun exposure, the cotton will naturally lighten. To maintain its creamy tone, you can soak the hammock in a diluted tea or coffee bath before washing. For a bright white finish, a light bleach solution may be used with care.

Question 8

CANDLES

Accepted Answer

To ensure an even burn and extend the life of your candle, let the wax melt fully across the surface during the first light—this may take about two hours. A full melt pool prevents tunneling and sets the stage for a clean, consistent burn.
Trim the wick to ¼ inch (0.5 cm) before each use to reduce sooting and improve performance. Keep the wax surface free of debris.
Once your candle has burned down, the ceramic vessel can be washed and repurposed—use it as a votive holder, match cup, small planter, or catch-all for daily treasures.
