Fabric & Care
Mache (100% Technical Polyester) / Washable
Mache feels like heavy silk yet offers all the easy-care practicality of polyester. With “air flow” technology, it floats and drapes beautifully, resists creasing, and dries quickly — making it perfect for travel.
Machine washable. Do not tumble dry. Line dry in shade. Cool iron if required.
