Pottery Care 

For all red, smoked, black clay pottery

  • Do not put pottery in dishwasher or microwave. Wash thoroughly by hand with soap/water and let air dry before storing or next use
  • Barro rojo (red clay)/Barro ahumado (smoked) coffee mugs are safely glazed and can be used daily as tableware or decor
  • Barro negro (black clay) coffee mugs are sold straight out of the oven. There might be some remains of the charcoal/smoke in which it was baked. If this occurs, soak the product in warm water overnight and give it a good wash. It is safe to use daily as tableware or decor
  • For vases, we recommend using a plastic container to hold your water and flowers to preserve the longevity of your piece
  • Keep pottery out of sun when possible to preserve the color
  • All pottery is made of organic material and is safe to use
  • All pottery has been tested and is lead free

Textile Care

For throw pillows, scarfs, shawls, ponchos, textile totes and macrame

  • Always hand wash with cold water
  • It is recommended to spot clean macrame handbags
  • Lay flat to dry or hang dry without wringing
  • If necessary, iron on low with a protective cloth on top of the garment
  • If there is a need to machine wash, please do so in a garment bag on delicate settings (not for macrame handbags)
