Modern contemporary style:

Use as an accent piece for simple modern furniture. Warm natural colors and handcrafted textures are added to an inorganic white or gray space to create a sophisticated balance.

Precautions and care methods

Daily care method

- Light vacuuming 2-3 times a week (along the hair with low to medium suction)

- Please be sure to clean the gray area frequently as dirt is easily noticeable.

- Turn over regularly to improve overall ventilation and prevent moisture and dust mites from forming.

- When brushing, gently follow the direction of the hair.

- Handle the white fringe part with special care and be careful not to get it tangled.

Emergency response to dirt and stains

- If any liquid is spilled, immediately wipe it with a dry white towel to absorb it.

- Dirt is particularly noticeable in gray areas, so prompt action is extremely important.

- Wipe gently with a towel dampened with water diluted with neutral detergent.

- Be sure to completely remove detergent with clean water and dry thoroughly.

- To prevent color transfer from the red part, do not leave it wet for a long time.

About professional cleaning

- Regular professional cleaning is recommended (please consult us)

- It is important to have it cleaned by a professional who understands the characteristics of vegetable dyeing and the combination of multiple colors.

- Please avoid washing with water at your own discretion as it requires specialized techniques to prevent color transfer and fading.
