What after-care instructions do you suggest for woven materials?
All product is crafted with carefully selected materials and should be handled with care for longer product life. the products shipped in 100% cotton dust bags and we suggest product/s be stored in these bags when not in use in a cool, dry environment. Avoid excessive contact with water, oils and detergents.
As a result of the weaving process, (straw is dampened prior to and during the weaving process) a slight transfer of colour can occur from one dyed area to the next. Such imperfections are akin to the nature of handcrafted products and are not a defect. It is not unusual for dyed fibres to fade over time, so we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Will the colour of the products I receive look exactly like the photos on your website?
Please note that while we have tried to accurately display the colours of products, the actual colours you see will depend on your monitor and may not be accurate.
I own a small company and would like to source your products but I may not be able to reach minimums. How does this work?
We understand and Woven Worldwide is more than happy to grow with your business and we have developed Packages to meet your business where it is. Please read our Wholesale page and let’s talk about the minimums that work best for your business.
Please note: As a best practice, we do not connect retailers directly to Artisan groups and walk away. We have a hands-on approach and streamline communication between you, the client and the Artisans.
