Avoid a washing machine, harsh detergent, bleach, scrubbing and wringing. When washing is necessary, handle the stole gently and keep friction away from the painted areas.
After washing, support the wet fabric, return it to its natural shape and dry it in shade. Strong sun while wet may contribute to uneven fading, while twisting can distort a soft stole.
If ironing is needed, turn the stole over and use an appropriate fabric setting. Do not place the iron directly on the artwork. Store the stole clean, dry and loosely folded away from prolonged sunlight.
Brushup stoles are made in cotton or viscose. Read the complete care guide and explore hand-painted stoles.
