Expert Tips for Fabric Care

At Serah Kassim, we embrace the beauty of traditional craftsmanship, and our Batik designs are no exception. This hand-dyed fabric is renowned for its intricate patterns and vibrant colors, created through a meticulous process where wax is applied to the fabric and followed by dyeing, resulting in unique designs that blend artistry with heritage.

Each Batik piece is a true reflection of culture, offering a one-of-a-kind creation that tells a personal story through its colors and patterns. Made from great cotton blends, these fabrics are not only breathable and soft but also versatile, perfect for every season, whether it's the heat of summer or the cool embrace of fall.

Our Batik designs are more than just fabric; they are wearable art, bringing the essence of craftsmanship into your wardrobe. With Serah Kassim, every piece is designed to offer both timeless beauty and a modern aesthetic, making it a meaningful addition to your collection.

Fabric Composition:

• Primary Material: Cotton blends
• Weight: Medium
• Texture: Soft, breathable, with a slight stiffness that becomes more comfortable after a few washes

Care Instructions:

To ensure your Serah Kassim Batik piece remains vibrant and pristine for years, follow these simple yet essential care tips:

1. Washing:
• Hand Wash Recommended: Gently hand wash in cold water with mild detergent to preserve the colors and fabric integrity.
• Machine Wash: If you prefer machine washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water and place the fabric in a mesh laundry bag to minimize friction and prevent fading.
2. Drying:
• Air Dry: Lay flat or hang the fabric to air dry, out of direct sunlight, to preserve the vivid colors.
• Avoid Tumble Drying: High heat can damage the fabric’s fibers and affect the dye’s brilliance.
3. Ironing:
• Iron on a medium heat setting, and always on the reverse side of the fabric to maintain the integrity of the design.
• If you prefer a softer look, steam ironing is an excellent alternative for a more relaxed finish.
4. Storage:
• Store your Batik items in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight to prevent the colors from fading.
• For long-term storage, protect the fabric from dust and moisture by using garment bags.

Important Notes:

• Color Variations: Because each piece is hand-dyed, slight variations in color and pattern are to be expected. This makes every item uniquely yours and highlights the personal touch behind each creation.
• First Wash: You may notice some dye may come off during the first wash. This is normal and a part of the hand-dye process. We recommend washing your Batik pieces separately to avoid color transfer.

By following these care instructions, your Serah Kassim Batik fabric will stay vibrant, beautiful, and full of life, allowing you to enjoy this rich cultural craftsmanship for years to come.
