Care Guide

Do not wash at home. Frazadas are handwoven and coloured with natural plant dyes — whether used as a floor rug, a blanket, a wall hanging, or a tablecloth, the care is the same. Home washing risks colour transfer between dye lots and deformation of the flat weave structure. This applies regardless of how you use the piece.

For routine care: take the frazada outside every few weeks and beat or shake it firmly to release surface dust and grit. This is the most effective method for keeping it clean between professional washes.

For spills: blot immediately with a clean, colourless cloth — never rub. Work from the edges of the spill inward. If a mark remains once dry, press gently with a cloth dampened in cold water and a small amount of pH-neutral wool soap. Do not scrub. Air dry flat in a ventilated space away from direct heat.

Do not use: bleach, ammonia, solvents, hot water, or standard laundry detergent.

For deeper cleaning: take to a specialist dry cleaner once a year. Specify that it is 100% handwoven wool with natural plant dyes and request pH-neutral cleaning products.

Loose threads: use a blunt instrument to push the thread back into the weave from the front. If too long, tie a small knot close to the surface and trim. Never pull loose threads.

Storage: roll, do not fold — folding creates permanent creases in flat-woven textiles. Wrap in breathable cotton. Use cedar or lavender for moth protection. Never store in plastic bags.

Frazada cushion covers: Remove the cushion insert before any cleaning. Spot clean only with a cloth dampened in cold water — blot, do not rub. Do not hand wash or soak the cover; the cream backing fabric is at risk of colour transfer from the naturally-dyed frazada front. For a thorough clean, take to a professional and specify natural plant dyes.

Frazada bags and tassels: Spot clean only. Blot a mark with a cloth and cold water, with a little pH-neutral wool soap for a stubborn one. Never wash or submerge. For a deeper clean, take it to a specialist cleaner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is this made?

Every Orange Inca piece is designed in Australia and made in Peru — by cooperativas, family businesses, and small production centres that we know personally and return to. The makers are predominantly women. The processes are predominantly by hand.

What does "handmade" actually mean?

It means a person made it. Not a machine that requires a person nearby. The junco bags are woven row by row on simple frames. The frazadas are woven on traditional looms over days, sometimes weeks. The leather bags are stitched and finished by hand in a family workshop in Lima. Handmade at Orange Inca means the hands are genuinely involved — not as a marketing label but as the only way these things can be made.

Will my piece look exactly like the photo?

Every frazada begins as the creative work of the woman who wove it. No two are identical — pattern, colour distribution, and dimensions vary between pieces, even within the same colourway. This is not inconsistency; it is the nature of the material. When the frazada is consumed in the making of a bag or cushion, that piece can never be exactly replicated.

Will it last?

Frazadas are woven from sheep wool — a fibre raised and processed at altitude, designed to withstand cold, hard use, and time. The natural dyes are fixed through traditional Andean processes and remain vibrant for years. The more a frazada piece is used, the better it tends to look. Spot clean if needed; avoid saturation. No two pieces are the same — the pattern and colour palette were chosen by the woman who wove it.

What's your returns policy?

Every piece is made by hand and checked before it leaves us. If something arrives faulty or isn't as described, contact us within 14 days at returns@orangeinca.com and we'll make it right — refund, exchange, or repair.

We don't offer change-of-mind returns or exchanges. With handmade goods, each piece is unique; once it's been made for you, it can't simply be put back. We'd rather help you choose right from the start — if you have questions about sizing, colour, or whether something will work for you, ask before you buy.

EU customers: you have a 14-day cooling-off period in line with consumer protection regulations.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We ship worldwide from Sydney via Australia Post (standard) or DHL — you choose at checkout. Delivery times vary by destination. Please note that import duties and taxes are the responsibility of the recipient and are not included in our prices. We're not able to predict what these will be — your local customs authority can advise before you order.
