Care instructions

Machine wash cold, inside-out, on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and similar colours. Do not iron decoration. Tumble dry low, or hang-dry for longest life. Do not dry clean.

Every design is individually digitised by embroidery specialists rather than simply printed onto fabric.

This creates a raised, textured finish with excellent durability. Very fine details may be subtly refined during digitising while maintaining the original design.
