Care Instructions

Care Instructions

The garments you purchase from AmarSons are made with exceptional care — from the selection of fabrics to the finishing of every seam and embellishment. With proper attention, they will retain their beauty for years and even generations.

Below, you will find our recommendations for caring for the most common fabric types and embellishments in our collections.

Silk

Silk is among the most elegant and delicate of natural fibres. To preserve its lustre and softness, we recommend dry cleaning for all silk garments. If you must spot-clean at home, use cold water and a very mild detergent, dabbing gently rather than rubbing. Never wring silk — lay it flat on a clean towel and roll gently to remove excess moisture. Iron on the reverse side at a low temperature, or use a steamer held at a safe distance.

Georgette & Chiffon

These sheer, flowing fabrics are best dry cleaned to maintain their drape and finish. If hand-washing, use cold water with a gentle detergent and avoid twisting or wringing. Hang to dry away from direct sunlight. Iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric.

Velvet

Velvet should always be dry cleaned. Between wears, hang velvet garments on padded hangers to prevent crushing the pile. If the pile becomes flattened, hold the garment over steam (without touching the fabric to the water) and gently brush with a soft velvet brush in the direction of the nap.

Embroidered & Embellished Garments

Pieces featuring zardozi, sequin work, dabka, or stone embellishments require particular care. Always dry clean these garments — water and detergent can tarnish metallic threads and loosen embellishments. When storing, wrap embroidered sections in soft muslin or acid-free tissue paper to prevent the work from catching or pressing against other surfaces.

Banarasi & Brocade Fabrics

Banarasi silk and brocade weaves are among the most durable of luxury fabrics, but they benefit from careful handling. Dry clean only. Store flat or rolled (never folded along the same lines repeatedly, as this can crack the metallic weft threads over time). Wrap in muslin cloth and store in a cool, dry place.

Cotton & Linen

Cotton and linen garments are generally more forgiving. Most can be hand-washed in cold water with a mild detergent. For printed cotton, wash separately for the first few washes to prevent colour transfer. Iron while slightly damp for a crisp finish, or use a steam iron.

General Storage Guidelines

Store all ethnic wear in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated space. Avoid plastic covers, which trap moisture and can cause yellowing or mildew. Use breathable cotton or muslin garment bags instead. For heavily embellished pieces, lay flat rather than hanging to avoid stretching. Place silica gel packets or neem leaves in your wardrobe to deter moisture and insects naturally.

Refold stored garments every few months along different lines to prevent permanent creasing.
