Caring for the cloth
- Ankara and dashiki prints
- Wash cold on a gentle cycle, inside out, with similar colours. Iron on the reverse while slightly damp.
- Kente prints
- Wash cold, inside out, and dry in the shade so the colours stay bright. Iron on the reverse.
- Embroidered pieces
- Dry clean, or a brief cold hand wash. Iron on the reverse, never over the embroidery.
