CHIKANLABEL LUXE
Preserve the fabric, embroidery and shape of your outfit with care that matches the specific garment.
Chikankari describes embroidery, not a single fabric. Cotton, viscose, Chanderi, silk, organza and mixed or embellished garments can need different handling. Follow the care label and product instructions first.
| Garment detail | Care approach |
|---|---|
| A garment labelled dry clean only | Follow that instruction and tell the cleaner about embroidery, lining and embellishments. Do not substitute home washing based on another garment. |
| A garment explicitly labelled washable | Follow the stated temperature and method. Protect delicate stitched areas from rubbing, wringing and snagging. |
| Sheer or fine fabrics | Handle gently and avoid pulling at motifs or seams. Confirm cleaning and pressing instructions for the actual material. |
| Beads, mirrors or metallic embellishment | Check the guidance for those additions as well as the base fabric. Avoid direct high heat over embellishments. |
Use the temperature and method allowed for the fabric. Avoid flattening raised motifs or pressing directly on delicate additions.
A suitable protective cloth and working from the appropriate side can help, but the garment's specific instructions take priority.
Check for stains, moisture or loose components. Address an issue using the appropriate garment care advice.
Use storage that avoids damp, harsh light and unnecessary pressure on delicate embroidery. Heavy pieces may need support rather than prolonged hanging.
Store the kurta, bottoms, dupatta or blouse piece with clear care information so each part is handled correctly.
Aggressive rubbing can distort stitches or damage a fine base cloth.
Identify the fabric and the permitted cleaning method before using a product or technique.
Contact the team or a suitable professional cleaner with the garment details and a photograph.
If you are reporting a defect or requesting an exchange, speak to the team before washing or repairing the garment.
YOUR QUESTIONS
No. Follow the care label and product instructions. Embroidery does not determine the cleaning method by itself.
Use professional cleaning appropriate to the garment and describe its embroidery and embellishments to the cleaner.
Not unless the instructions apply to your specific garment. Different fabrics and finishes can need different handling.
Avoid vigorous rubbing. Check the garment instructions and seek specific advice for the stain and fabric.
Avoid twisting or wringing delicate stitched areas. Use only the drying method permitted for the garment.
Check the allowed temperature and method. Avoid flattening raised motifs or applying direct heat to delicate additions.
Yes. Added embellishments can have different heat and handling requirements from the base fabric.
Choose storage that supports the garment's weight and protects its embroidery. Heavy or delicate pieces may need supported folded storage.
Handle jewellery, hooks and rough surfaces carefully, and avoid pulling the fabric across protruding objects.
Do not pull it. Ask for garment-specific guidance before cutting or repairing a thread in an embroidered area.
Contact the team first. Cleaning or alteration can change the garment condition and affect assessment.
Send the product link or order number to customer assistance and ask for the instructions applying to that garment.
