Garment Care
At Haveli, sustainability is the focus of every fabric we use. Each garment is crafted with natural, biodegradable textiles and natural, non-toxic dyes and fixatives. This ensures that our clothing not only looks beautiful but also minimises harm to the environment and human health.
The following tips will help you extend the life of your Haveli garment while reducing its environmental impact.
Silk
- Hand wash silk garments in cold water with a gentle detergent.
- Avoid rubbing or wringing silk fabric, as it can damage the fibers.
- Rinse thoroughly and gently press out excess water.
- Lay flat to dry on a clean towel or hang on a padded hanger to air dry.
- Iron on a low heat setting while the fabric is still slightly damp, or use a steamer to remove wrinkles.
- Alternatively, silk garments can be dry cleaned for a professional finish, if preferred.
Cotton
- Machine wash cotton garments in cold or lukewarm water on a gentle cycle.
- Use a mild detergent to avoid damaging the fabric.
- Avoid overloading the washing machine to prevent excessive wrinkling.
- Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry in shade to prevent shrinkage.
- If ironing is needed, use a medium to high heat setting, and iron while the fabric is slightly damp for best results.
Linen

- Gently squeeze out excess water and avoid wringing to prevent stretching.
- Air dry flat on a clean towel or hang to dry to avoid excessive wrinkling.
