fluid silk crepe and cotton hand-painted vest
Part of the Santa Fe Collection, fun and pleasant to wear, this vest combines the fluid nature of thick silk crepe with signature brushed cotton appliqué that gives it a nice swing due to added weight and texture. Lots of handwork in this one - from appliqué to top stitching and little details like a row of buttons on the shoulder and a fun pocket. The last three pictures here show it as pinned to size small. As most items, it can be customized for size, length, and full closure, please ask. Product code: B6145

Hand wash.
All garments arrive to you freshly cleaned, unlike regular store-bought items, and are ready to wear.
Dry-cleaning is ok on most items but only if gentle methods are used and the cleaners are familiar with cleaning hand-painted delicate fabrics.
To freshen up any item that doesn’t need deep cleaning simply mist it with a water spray and put in the dryer on medium heat for about 15 min.
All garments can be hand washed. Wash each item separately, cold water only, minimal amount of detergent, and as briefly as possible, no soaking. The wash can be followed by a spin in the washer and dried on medium heat until dry. Knits should be hung-dried and when dry, finished in the dryer for a few minutes to soften.
Hand-pressing may be necessary after the wash and dry to straighten out the seams and edges which tend to pucker or curl on natural fabrics.
Some hand-dyed items may leak a bit of color during the washing, that is normal and will not affect the item. Using liquid softener during the wash will minimize any color leaking.
For more tips and details please refer to the cleaning instructions card included with your package.
