Additional Care Tips
- • Check fiber content before cleaning — silk jacquard needs dry cleaning, cotton jacquard can be gently machine washed
- • Machine wash on gentle cycle in cold water (30°C/85°F) for cotton or synthetic jacquard
- • Dry clean recommended for silk, wool, or blended jacquard fabrics
- • Iron on medium-low heat on the reverse side to avoid flattening the woven texture
- • Air dry flat or on padded hangers; avoid tumble drying which can distort patterns
- • Store carefully — heavy jacquard should be folded with tissue, lighter pieces can be hung
