Common Issues & How to Handle Them

Embroidery threads may occasionally lift or snag. If a thread becomes loose, carefully tuck it back into place with a needle—avoid pulling, which can distort the pattern. Gentle handling and storing away from friction will prevent most issues.

Sustainability & Ethical Impact

Each embroidered detail is created entirely by hand, requiring no machines or excess energy. This preserves artisan traditions and ensures that every piece contributes to sustainable, skill-based employment.
