A little care goes a long way in promoting longevity of your product. Please follow these instructions to ensure your product remains in its full glory for years to come.

 

Khamak products are an investment; they are hand embroidered art pieces that are typically passed from one generation to another. The exquisite craftsmanship has earned these products worldwide respect and unending love. The finest quality of Khamak embroidery will maintain the art through many generations if treated with care.

 

Dry Clean: We highly recommend that your Khamak products be professionally dry cleaned. 

Hand Wash: Use lukewarm water with non bleach detergent to hand wash your product (or launder in machine using hand wash cycle). Hand dry; do not place product in dryer. 

Ironing: Steam ironing is recommended.

Your purchase or donation provides employment opportunities for women in Kandahar, Afghanistan, that would otherwise have little to no income to take care of themselves or their families. This income provides them with dignity and confidence and leads to a ripple effect in the community as women invest in their families. Furthermore, your support of KT allows us to provide our artisans and staff members with personal financial management training, business skills training, and other meaningful experiences for the women of Kandahar.
