Care Instructions

Customer Caution

Please be advised that your textile may have mini-burns or holes from the rusting process. I repair more extensive burns with some visible mending/ small patches. Mostly this is aesthetic, as these burns will not affect the structural integrity.
I photograph all fabric flaws & add them to each listing, but if this is not something you would be ok with, please consider this warning, for some spots may slip by me.
