All styles are pre-washed so there will be no shrinkage after wash.
Caring for cotton simple:
- Machine wash in cold water
- Use mild detergent, avoid harsh chemicals
- Line dry in shade to preserve the prints
- Skip the tumble dryer to keep the cotton soft & breathable
Bonus: Our luxurious Indian cotton gets softer with every wash, so your favourite pieces only get better over time.

Behind The Scenes
Not All Cotton Is Created Equal
Most brands use basic (60x60) cotton. We use premium signature Hi Handmade cotton — more comfortable, softer and beautifully stronger.
Frequently asked Questions
Most of our styles come with both lining and pockets. For styles without lining, it's simply because they don't need it. We use high-quality, tightly woven cotton that isn't see through - so you get comfort and coverage without the extra layer.
At Hi Handmade, we design with real women in mind. Our cuts and styles are made to fit and celebrate your curves, not change them — think of it like makeup for your body!
