Get The Most Out Of Your Cowrie

Cowrie Care Guide

01

Wash Before First Wear

To ensure the best experience with your new garment, we recommend washing it before first use. This helps remove any loose fibers that may have accumulated during production and minimizes shedding which can occur in knitted garments. To wash: Place Cowrie into the complimentary laundry bag provided. Machine wash on cold setting.
02

Drying Your Cowrie

To dry, we recommend lying your Cowrie flat in the shade. This should help with any wrinkles. The Cowrie is fairly wrinkle resistent especially when dried per above, but can be lightly steamed if need be. Do not tumble dry or Iron
03

The Fabric

As our garments are made from high-quality organic cotton and feature an open weave for breathablility, some shedding may occur, especially during the first few wears and washes. This is a natural characteristic of the fabric, and you may notice small fibers coming off, particularly if the garment is dark-colored and in contact with lighter fabrics. Precaution with Lighter Colors: If you're wearing a dark-colored garment over lighter-colored clothing, please be aware that some fiber transfer may occur. We suggest being cautious with such combinations, especially during the initial wears.
