Our Materials and How To Care For Them
We use an array of materials with different dying techniques to create the unique clothes that unfold in the story of FARA Boutique. Mixing elegant silks with bohemian tie dyes is a beautiful juxtaposition for the unique souls who find our clothes. Raw silks may go undyed to soothe your skin, and plant based fabrics blend with digital prints to tell a tale of symbolism and adventures.

OUR MATERIALS
- Crafted from beech trees, Hemp Modal stands out as one of the world's most sustainable fabrics. Its production demands significantly less water, promising longevity with proper care. For convenience, you can opt for machine-washing on a delicate setting, using cold water and a mesh bag for protection. Always separate light colors from dark. Alternatively, hand-washing your hemp pieces is a simple yet effective method.
- Our Satin Cupro, with its plant-based softness, closely mimics the luxurious feel of our 100% silk pieces but has a slightly denser texture. While we still suggest dry cleaning for best results, this fabric is more machine-wash friendly. If machine washing is necessary, we advise washing solo or with similar colors in a mesh wash bag, using a delicate wash cycle and gentle detergent.
-
Chiffon, known for its delicate nature, requires gentle handling to maintain its beauty. For best care, we strongly advise opting for eco-friendly dry-cleaning services. However, if you prefer hand washing, remember not to let the garment soak and avoid wringing out water forcefully. Never machine wash chiffon, especially without a protective mesh bag.
The Chiffon we are using is currently nylon, making it our only non biodegradable fabric, but we’ve been actively searching for a more eco friendly alternative, and will start using a plant based alternative by the end of this year. -
Our Silk garments are 100% undergo meticulous hand-dyeing, resulting in pieces that are delicate yet resilient. With proper care, they can endure for years.
While hand washing remains an option, we highly recommend dry cleaning our Silk Products for optimal results. Please note that hand washing may result in slight color running.
Don't forget to simply hang your clothes in fresh air to freshen them up. - Our linen-rayon blend combines the natural strength and breathability of linen with the soft, smooth drape of rayon, creating a fabric that is both comfortable and versatile. Linen is one of the most eco-friendly fibres, outperforming cotton in terms of water efficiency and reduced pesticide use. When blended with our responsibly made rayon - crafted from renewable wood pulp - it results in an earth-friendly fabric that not only looks beautiful but also adds structure and character to our garments. We recommend hand washing or using a gentle machine cycle with cold water, avoiding harsh detergents, and air drying to preserve the fabric's texture and longevity.
- An ancient material, that found origin in the Philippines is a fabric that is finally making waves in sustainable fashion. Crafted from otherwise discarded pith of the banana plant, this fibrous material creates a strong, breathable plant based alternative to silk, complete with signature lustrous shine. We recommend hand washing, and drying flat out of direct sunlight to maintain the fibre, and avoid fading.
-
Light as air, soft as a sigh - our silk-cotton blend is a fabric made for movement and feeling. The silk brings a delicate sheen and smoothness that smoothes against the skin, while cotton grounds it with breathable ease and gentle strength.
Spun from natural fibres, this blend is as gentle on the Earth as it is on your skin. We source our materials with care, favouring low-impact production methods and responsible partners who share our love for the planet.
Dry Clean for best care, and if not, hand wash cold using a gentle detergent. Lay flat or hang to dry. Avoid heat, bleach, and harsh chemicals to keep the fabric, and its story, alive longer.
