Garment Care

COTTON + ORGANIC COTTON CLOTHING

All our pieces are crafted using low impact dyes. While this is wonderful for our planet and our bodies, it does mean a little extra care is required to keep your garment in A1 condition, which ultimately means longer lasting.

WASH: Separately in the beginning, or with other 'like' colours. You will see a little colour bleeding out in these earlier washes, so take care to avoid washing with lighter pieces. No need to add salt - all our pieces have been pre-washed in hot water already. The mordants in low impact dyes are not as chemically rich as regular dyes though, so they don't 'fix' the same way.

DRY: In the shade always. Our low impact dyes will fade much faster if left in the sun.

DO NOT: Wash in hot water - this will ensure the colour bleeds much more than it should, and your piece will fade faster.

Love Surya

I absolutely love the clothes I’m getting from Surya - I get so many comments and compliments, people wanting to know where I get them from. I wanted to love the Valentina dress, it’s a wonderful cut, perfect for womanly hips. I’m also quite big busted so this dress, even in the XL is tight and gaping (I checked the measurements before buying) but alas I appreciate not everyone has big bewbs like me. On sale I’ll be keeping them and getting out the sewing machine or buying a minimiser bra! Bust aside, this dress is a PERFECT fit and cut.

Sultana R. (Australia)

I love that little note sent by the company and the product quality should say excellent. Hope to buy again from Surya.
