Care Instructions
Indigenous arts are made out of natural materials, and therefore require great tending and care. Please keep the pieces in a dry place and avoid long periods of sun exposure, especially for the art that contains colors in it. Remember that the stalk and fiber from plants tend to soften overtime and gain new shape as we wear them!
Enjoy your indigenous art and contact us if you have any questions!
