How to Take Care of Handmade Kurtis

 


🧵 How to Take Care of Handmade Kurtis – Keep Them Beautiful for Years

Handmade Kurtis are special. They’re not mass-produced, they’re created with heart, care, and time. When you wear something from Ulfa’s Fashion, you’re wearing a story — so it deserves a little extra love in return. 💖


Here’s a simple guide to help you care for your handmade Kurtis, so they stay fresh, vibrant, and long-lasting.


🧺 1. Wash with Gentle Hands (or Gentle Machine Settings)

Handmade Kurtis are delicate by nature, especially if they include embroidery, lace, or light fabric like muslin or rayon.


Tips:


Prefer hand-washing in cold or lukewarm water


If using a machine, choose a gentle cycle


Always separate lights and darks


Ulfa’s Tip: Add a little salt in the first wash to lock in colors naturally!


🧴 2. Use Mild, Chemical-Free Detergents

Harsh detergents can damage fabric threads and fade colors quickly.


Go for:


Baby detergents


Liquid detergents made for delicate fabrics


Ayurvedic or herbal fabric cleansers (they smell great too!)


🌞 3. Dry in Shade, Not Under Harsh Sun

Sunlight fades beautiful colors. Always dry your Kurtis in partial or full shade.


Why this matters:


Keeps the fabric soft


Maintains the original color for longer


Prevents weakening of stitches


🪡 4. Iron with Care

Most handmade Kurtis need light to medium ironing.


Pro Tips:


Turn the Kurti inside out before ironing


Use a cotton cloth (pressing cloth) on top if the fabric is delicate


Avoid steam if the Kurti has embroidery or embellishments


🧺 5. Store Neatly, Don’t Crush

After so much love in making, your Kurti deserves a cozy place in your wardrobe!


Storage tips:


Fold properly — avoid cramming


Store in a cotton/muslin bag if possible


Don’t hang thin fabrics for too long (they can stretch)


💡 Bonus: When Traveling with Kurtis

Roll them instead of folding to save space and avoid hard creases.

Keep them in a breathable bag — not plastic.


💬 Final Thought

Your handmade Kurti is not just clothing — it’s a piece of someone's time, art, and care. A little extra effort in caring for it will go a long way.


At Ulfa’s Fashion, every piece is made to last — with love from my hands to your heart. 🧵❤️
