This 2-way design allows you to wear it either way, letting you enjoy different looks depending on your mood. The cotton yarn is naturally dyed by Karen women living in Chiang Mai, Thailand, who then handweave the fabric over several days. The indigo color is achieved using indigo leaves, offering a captivating depth and nuanced hue characteristic of natural dyes. The handwoven fabric has a moderate thickness and becomes softer with each wash, ensuring a more comfortable wear over time. The generously oversized silhouette also contributes to its incredibly relaxed feel, making it a pleasure to wear. We hope you'll experience the beauty of natural dyes and the comfort of handwoven fabric. These garments, filled with the charm of craftsmanship, also make perfect gifts. <Size (approx.)> Width: 66.5cm (26.2") Length: 69.5cm (27.4") Neck Circumference: 67.5cm (26.6") Sleeve Opening Width: 18.5cm (7.3") Slit: 16.5cm (6.5") *The item will be delivered pre-washed. *Model is 155cm (5'1") tall and is wearing a pre-wash item (length 73-75cm). <Material> Cotton (Naturally dyed, handwoven) *Chemical fibers are used for machine-sewn parts. *After washing, gently stretch the fabric before drying to minimize shrinkage. ======================================= Instagram: @chikuchikutongtong "Chiku Chiku Tong Tong" is a fair trade brand dedicated to preserving the traditional culture of the Karen ethnic group and fostering sustainable village development.

[Care Instructions for Natural Dye and Handwoven Products] Natural dyes are less resistant to washing and sunlight compared to chemical dyes, and their colors will change with use. Please observe the following precautions during care and use. Color transfer or fading may occur due to friction or moisture. Please be mindful of color transfer when wearing or using light-colored clothing or bags. Using darker colored clothing or bags together can help camouflage any color transfer. Darker colors are particularly prone to fading, so we recommend washing the item once before wearing. We also recommend handwashing separately from other clothes. If using a washing machine, please use a neutral detergent, place the item in a laundry net, and wash on a gentle cycle separately from other clothes. However, machine washing may accelerate fabric damage and color fading. Avoid using a dryer and dry the item in the shade. - About Starch. For fabric products, we may use starch made from rice for the threads. This starch will typically wash out after about two washes. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us!
