Material & Care
100% cotton.
We encourage you to spot clean and spray with a mixture of lavender (or any other antimicrobial essential oil) and water while the garment is inside-out for a refresh. Washing less helps to extend the life of your garment.
When necessary wash in cold water and hang dry.
A little disclaimer about logwood: it's quite sensitive to color shifting. I recommend keeping anything dyed with logwood away from citrus juice. The citric acid removes the color from the cloth.

Vintage/second-hand items may come with minor flaws due to pre-loved wear. Plant dyed items are all dyed by hand and saturation dye patterns tend to not be uniform (which is a characteristic that we LOVE). Please enjoy and appreciate this item with its unique character. Vintage items are FINAL SALE. We want you to be happy with your one-of-a-kind piece, so please email thefuturepaststudio@gmail.com for any questions regarding fit or condition.
