1. Care Instructions for Unstitched Fabrics

Unstitched fabrics require careful handling to preserve color, texture, and strength before and after stitching.

Washing

  • For the first wash, always hand wash separately in cold water.

  • Use mild detergent; avoid strong washing powders and bleach.

  • Do not soak the fabric for longer than 5–10 minutes.

  • Avoid hot water as it may affect color and shrinking.

Drying

  • Do not wring or twist the fabric.

  • Gently squeeze and hang to dry in shade only.

  • Avoid direct sunlight as it may fade the dye.

Ironing

  • Iron on medium heat on the reverse side.

  • For delicate fabrics like soft cotton or blended textures, place a thin cloth on top while ironing.

Storing

  • Store in a cool, dry place.

  • Avoid humid areas to prevent mildew.

  • Keep fabric folded neatly in a fabric-friendly storage bag or drawer.

Extra Tips

  • Before stitching, pre-wash cotton fabrics to reduce shrinkage.

  • For premium suiting fabrics or wash & wear, dry cleaning is recommended for the first wash.

2. Care Instructions for Stitched Shalwar Kameez

Your stitched outfits from Narkin’s are crafted with precision and need gentle care to maintain structure, shape, and finish.

Washing

  • Turn the garment inside out before washing.

  • Hand wash or machine wash on gentle cycle using mild detergent.

  • Avoid fabric softeners on premium suiting or wash & wear fabrics.

  • Do not bleach.

Drying

  • Shake lightly after washing to maintain shape.

  • Hang on a padded hanger or lay flat to dry in shade.

  • Avoid direct sunlight to retain color richness.

Ironing

  • Iron on low to medium heat.

  • For embroidered or specially finished outfits, steam ironing is recommended.

  • Avoid pressing directly over embellishments.

Storing

  • Hang stitched suits on strong hangers to prevent shoulder bumps.

  • Use garment covers to keep dust and moisture away.

  • Keep fragrances or mothballs away from the fabric to avoid discoloration.

Extra Tips

  • Dry cleaning is recommended for formal wear or embroidered outfits.

  • Do not overload washing machines; it damages stitching and fabric shape.

3. Care Instructions for Koofi Caps

Koofi caps (Islamic prayer caps) are delicate items made from fine yarns and handcrafted details. Proper care keeps them fresh, clean, and lasting longer.

Washing

  • Hand wash only in cold to lukewarm water.

  • Use a small amount of mild detergent.

  • Do not scrub hard or twist; gently press to remove dirt.

  • For white caps, avoid chlorine-based agents—use gentle, fabric-safe whiteners only if needed.

Drying

  • Gently press with hands to remove excess water.

  • Reshape the cap while damp.

  • Air dry on a flat surface; avoid hanging as it may deform the shape.

  • Keep away from direct sunlight to avoid yellowing.

Ironing

  • Most koofi caps don’t require ironing.

  • If needed, iron lightly on very low heat using a pressing cloth.

Storing

  • Keep caps in a clean drawer or shelf.

  • Avoid placing heavy items on top to prevent shape distortion.

  • Use small breathable pouches for travel.

Extra Tips

  • Wash frequently if used during prayers to maintain hygiene.

  • Avoid washing in machines—this may shrink or misshape the cap.

4. Care Instructions for Peshawari Sandals

Peshawari sandals are handcrafted from premium leather and require special care to maintain comfort, shine, and longevity.

Cleaning

  • Wipe the sandals regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.

  • For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth—do not soak.

  • Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or detergents.

  • Use leather-safe cleaning products if necessary.

Polishing & Conditioning

  • Apply leather conditioner once a month to keep the leather soft.

  • Use a matching color polish or neutral polish to maintain shine.

  • Do not over-apply polish; wipe off excess.

Drying

  • If sandals get wet, let them air dry naturally.

  • Do not use direct heat (sunlight, heaters, hairdryers) as it cracks leather.

Storing

  • Keep sandals in a cool, dry area.

  • Use shoe trees or tissue stuffing to maintain shape.

  • Store in a breathable fabric bag or box to prevent dust gathering.

Extra Tips

  • Avoid wearing Peshawari sandals on extremely rough surfaces or in heavy rain.

  • Rotate between pairs to extend lifespan.
