• Low spin
• Neutral soap
• Wash inside out
• Dry in the shade
• Iron at low temperature (with protection for embroidery)

Please note:

• Grita works with used, discarded household fabrics. The fabrics often show some wear and tear and signs of use that we try to conceal or integrate as best as possible.
• ⁠This means that some pieces require a lot of work in terms of sanitisation and "restoration" of the fabrics and embroidery.
• ⁠On Grita's page, you won't find gender references. We create our pieces without thinking about who will wear them, because everyone wears what they want.
• ⁠For this reason, we also don't follow certain sewing conventions (e.g., buttons on the left or right). We do it randomly or on the side that enhances the shirt's beauty.
• ⁠As these are old fabrics, and especially if they are embroidered, it is very important to follow the washing recommendations.
• By purchasing an item from Grita, you are directly supporting a small independent business.
