Care Instructions

To store our Korowai by Hiria designs, follow these steps:

1. Clean and dry: Gently vacuum or brush off any debris. If necessary, hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent, then air dry.

2. Folding: Fold the korowai in a way that minimizes creasing and stress on the fibers. Consider folding it in a way that allows it to be stored flat.

3. Storage container: Use a breathable, acid-free container, such as a wooden chest or a cloth bag.

4. Tissue paper or cloth: Wrap the korowai in acid-free tissue paper or a soft cloth to protect it from dust and moisture.

5. Store flat: Place the wrapped korowai in the container, storing it flat to prevent creasing and damage.

6. Climate control: Store the korowai in a room with a stable temperature (around 20°C) and humidity level (around 50-60%).

7. Handle with care: When handling the korowai, wear gloves to prevent oil from your skin damaging the fibers.

By following these steps, you'll preserve the korowai for future generations.
