Please note this particular print is heavily pigmented with indigo and some excess blue will be released into the water in the first-second wash.  With a deep indigo garment please also be cautious of rub colour transfer in early use, for example if sitting on white or light upholstery.  Nevertheless, indigo is special and absolutely worth having.

We recommend hand washing at a cool temperature (30 degrees) with non-bleaching detergent to preserve the colours. The kimono cotton is very light and so also quick and easy to wash by hand. With care your robe will only lighten gradually and beautifully over time like a favourite pair of jeans.

And... if you dry your robe carefully after laundering, you may feel no need to iron as the cotton hangs so well.
