Care Instructions
Each Emitota piece is made with exquisite African prints, chosen for their vibrant colour, cultural beauty, and premium quality.
To preserve the richness and longevity of your garment, please follow these car guidelines carefully.
General Care:
- Handle your garment with care to maintain the vibrancy of the print and the integrity of the fabric.
- Wash separately to prevent dye transfer.
- Avoid excessive friction or scrubbing on printed areas.
Washing:
- Hand wash in cold or lukewarm water (max 30°C) using mild detergent.
- Do not bleach — it can fade or damage the print.
- Avoid soaking the fabric for long periods, as this may affect colour vibrancy.
Drying:
- Air dry flat or hang in shade. Avoid direct sunlight to preserve colour brightness.
- Do not tumble dry, as high heat may shrink or distort the fabric.
Ironing:
- Iron inside out on a low to medium heat setting.
- Use a pressing cloth to protect prints and embellishments.
- Steam lightly if necessary to restore shape and softness.
Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Hang structured garments; fold softer fabrics neatly to avoid stretching.
- Keep away from moisture and perfumes to prevent staining or discolouration.
