Garment Care

COTTON + ORGANIC COTTON CLOTHING

All our pieces are crafted using low impact dyes. While this is wonderful for our planet and our bodies, it does mean a little extra care is required to keep your garment in A1 condition, which ultimately means longer lasting.

WASH: Separately in the beginning, or with other 'like' colours. You will see a little colour bleeding out in these earlier washes, so take care to avoid washing with lighter pieces. No need to add salt - all our pieces have been pre-washed in hot water already. The mordants in low impact dyes are not as chemically rich as regular dyes though, so they don't 'fix' the same way.

DRY: In the shade always. Our low impact dyes will fade much faster if left in the sun.

DO NOT: Wash in hot water - this will ensure the colour bleeds much more than it should, and your piece will fade faster.

🤷‍♀️

It’s too long it looks like a maxi dress on me. I forgot to measure the length. Other than that it is very good. I live in qld where I cotton clothes because of the humidity. Do you make shorts and singlets tops?

It has pockets!

Super comfy and we'll made. Nice soft fabric and light enough for hot humid climates. And most importantly it has pockets!

Cool and comfy

Great on a hot summer day. Lovely design around the shoulders. I got the grey colours and it's not too see-through. I've had a few comments on it.

Love my Aurora Dress!

I purchased my lovely Aurora Dress-Embroidered in wine, small. The feel of the cotton fabric is fabulously soft and fresh! I also love the pockets and the fabric belt! The size is very generous, I'm glad I ordered it in small. It is a bit see-through so I wore a slip dress underneath. Looking forward to wearing it time and time again! Thank you Surya for creating timeless, beautiful, ethical clothing! You're my fav!
