Special Notes:
Brocade fabrics may have slight color variations due to handloom weaving—this is natural and adds to authenticity
First-time use may release a faint fabric odor; air out before use
Color may transfer onto light-colored clothing when new—test before placing against delicate fabrics
Handle vintage-style pieces with extra care as antique finishes may be more delicate
With proper care, your potli will remain a treasured accessory for years and can be passed down as a family heirloom.
