Please do note that by default our custom-printed organic cotton scarves on a square size have machine-stitched hem on all four sides & the oblong scarves in this fabric are machine-stitched along the length with frayed fringes running across the width.

How to take care of your organic cotton scarf

Cotton is a durable fiber and compared to other fabrics like silk or chiffon for example, cotton is in general easier to maintain and less fragile.
However: To keep your cotton scarves in pristine condition, we recommend hand-washing in cold water with a mild detergent when needed. You can also machine-wash on a delicate cycle, but be sure to use a garment bag to protect the cotton scarf. Avoid bleach or fabric softener, as these can damage the cotton fibers. If you must iron your organic cotton scarf, do so on a low setting.
It's also important to store your cotton scarves properly. Fold them loosely and place them in a drawer or closet out of direct sunlight. cotton is a natural fabric and is therefore susceptible to moth damage, so be sure to keep it away from any areas where moths may congregate
With proper care, your custom-printed cotton scarves will last for many years to come, maintaining the beautiful colors from your chosen pattern or image.
