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.
-
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.
