The colors that the Natural Dyes impart to the Malkha fabric are deep and vibrant - imbued with the richness of the earth. They vary from season to season, as fruits and vegetables do, and so each piece is subtly unique, changing its tone with the position of the sun and the quality of the water in the nearby river.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it ages\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMalkha fabric ages much like we do, the wear and tear matches the way you use and treat it. If you want it to soften and fade and become well worn and tell your story, like wrinkles do, treat it as you will and watch the colors fade beautifully with time. If you want it to always be vibrant, like the day it was made, we suggest you skip dry cleaning, laundry detergent and if you are able, even a washing machine. Use a non-detergent soap if you must or just give it a quick hearty rinse in cold water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MALKHA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67568525639955,"sku":"AS 86","price":7500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2555\/3796\/files\/AS86-Copy_2_86e5c607-ab8d-44a4-b710-b4dc9790faae.jpg?v=1790832919"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2555\/3796\/collections\/AYSF-THREE.jpg?v=1780916385","url":"https:\/\/malkha.in\/collections\/sarees-ajrakh.oembed?page=2","provider":"Malkha Marketing Trust","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
