Understanding the Monsoon's Impact on Ethnic Wear

The monsoon season in India is characterized by high humidity and frequent rain showers, both of which can wreak havoc on delicate fabrics. Silk, cotton, chiffon, etc. commonly used in kurti ethnic wear for women are vulnerable to many moisture-related problems.

 

This Chiffon Swarovski Embroidery Saree is prone to damage from humidity. Similarly, cotton fabrics like our Cotton Fabric Unstitched Suit can absorb moisture and develop an unpleasant odor.

Pre-Monsoon Preparations

During the rainy season in India, it’s a must to store your ethnic wear in a way that minimizes exposure to moisture. Use porous garment bags to allow air circulation while protecting your clothes from humidity. It’s also a must to crosscheck that your storage area is tidy & dry. Never one should be keeping his/her clothes in damp areas. Pre-treating your fabrics with anti-microbial sprays can help prevent the growth of mold and mildew. 

Daily Care Tips During the Monsoon

If you spill something on your ethnic wear or if it gets wet in the rain, address the issue immediately. Like, you can cover the area gently with a clean cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain. If your clothes get wet, dry them as soon as possible. Lay them flat on a clean, dry surface, preferably indoors, away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Use softer detergents to wash off your garments.
