We are continuously evolving our fabric selection, consistently introducing new, innovative, and sustainable materials. Discover our extensive fabric library and learn the best care practices to ensure your Saakaar garments longevity.
Khadi
Traditional hand-washing is the best method: use a mild, preferably natural, soap. With each wash, the fabric becomes softer. To preserve the dye, air-dry it in the shade, and starch it afterward to keep the fabric firm. Khadi is not a disposable material; with proper care, it will last a long time.
Cotton
To keep your cotton clothes in excellent condition, wash them in cold or lukewarm water using a mild detergent to prevent shrinking and fading. Separate colors to avoid bleeding, and air-dry the garments to maintain their shape and softness. If you use a dryer, opt for a low-heat setting. Iron cotton clothes on medium heat while slightly damp for best results. Store them in a cool, dry place, giving them space to breathe and prevent wrinkles.
Satin
To keep your satin clothes looking their best, wash them by hand in cold water with a mild detergent to prevent damage and maintain their smooth texture. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric; instead, gently press out excess water. Lay the garments flat on a clean towel to air-dry, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and place a cloth between the iron and the satin to avoid scorching. Store satin items on padded hangers to maintain their shape and prevent creases.
Linen
Wash them on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, as it can weaken the fabric. Air-dry linen garments by laying them flat or hanging them in a shaded area to prevent shrinking and fading. If ironing is needed, use a high-heat setting with steam, and iron while the fabric is still slightly damp. Store linens in a cool, dry place, allowing them space to breathe and prevent creases. With proper care, your linen clothes will remain durable, soft, and beautiful.
Corduroy
Brush the fabric gently with a clothing brush to restore its nap and keep it looking fresh. Always use mild detergent and cold water to preserve the fabric’s texture and color.
