For the first one or two washes, or when lightly soiled (e.g., after sweating), a quick rinse with water is recommended. The color will gradually stabilize. ◎ We recommend a gentle hand wash separately at home. ◎ Please avoid using washing machines, dryers, bleach, or detergents containing bleach. ◎ Natural dyes can change color over time due to prolonged exposure to sunlight, citrus juices, sweat, or natural aging. ◎ Storing the stole folded in a brightly lit area for extended periods may cause sun fading on the folded parts. When not in use, please store it in a dark place, such as a box or drawer, away from light. ◎ For long-term storage of wool and silk products, it is advisable to keep them with desiccants and unscented moth repellents to ensure their preservation.
