Sizing: The Patchwork Kimono is hung on a size 8 dress form. Can fit up to to women’s L (12-14) & men’s M. Body length 31.5”; Body width 26.5'“
Fabric: Ikat cotton trim is indigo dyed and handwoven by the Pu Tai of Laos and the body is hand-spun organic cotton that has been dipped five times in indigo and handwoven by the Tai Daeng of Vietnam. Expertly sewn in Thailand in an ethical environment.
Care: The fabric has not been washed after being handwoven as to keep the deep blue indigo hue. The Pu Tai and the Tai Daeng artisans have maintained that wearing the fabric helps ward of mosquitoes and have relished the sweet smell of freshly dyed indigo. However, if you must wash the fabric, there will still be some bleeding from the next few washes- that’s ok because the indigo dye is plant-based. We recommend hand wash only in lukewarm water (with a very small amount of mild detergent if necessary). Please do not hang in direct sunlight as that will cause excessive fading. Cool iron.
