Washing Instructions – CHOYCE

CHOYCE works with a wide range of pure and designer fabrics to bring you elegant creations that are graceful and versatile. Since many of our pieces include mixed fabrics or intricate work, we always recommend following the specific washing instructions below. When in doubt, it’s a good idea to test-wash a small fabric sample first. Or feel free to reach out to us for guidance.

Note: For any fabric with embroidery, foil, or other surface work – especially on the shirt, dupatta, or bottom – please consult us if you are unsure. Proper care ensures long life and beauty of your outfit.

1. Hand Block Fabrics
