Please note that as the fabric is hand-dyed using indigo, slight variations in color shade may occur, contributing to the distinct "taste" of each individual product. It is important to be aware that due to the nature of indigo dyeing, exposure to moisture, such as sweat or rain, may lead to color fading or transfer. Additionally, caution should be exercised as strong friction may cause the dye to transfer to other garments.
