How does the print and colour hold up with regular use?

BintaRealWax prints are produced to maintain their vibrancy through normal wear and home laundering. The wax-print process anchors pigment to the cotton fibres so patterns remain bold and defined after multiple washes, while the textile softens with use.

• Vibrant floral and geometric patterning resists premature fading
• Cotton fibres soften but retain structural integrity over time
• Recommended gentle wash to prolong colour longevity
• Suitable for repeated cutting and tailoring without fraying
