Product Care

Caring for Your Haus Bilas Piece

At Haus Bilas, we value the beauty, character and craftsmanship of PNG-inspired pieces. Each item is unique, and thoughtful care helps preserve its beauty for years to come.

👚 Meri Blouse & Head-scarf

The Meri Blouse/head-scarf should be treated gently to help maintain its fabric, shape, colour and any decorative details.

To care for your blouse/head-scarf:

Hand wash gently in cold or cool water where possible.

If machine washing, use a gentle or delicate cycle and place the blouse inside a laundry bag.

Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.

Do not scrub, wring or twist the fabric.

Gently reshape the blouse while damp.

Air-dry naturally and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

Avoid using a high-heat dryer, as heat may cause shrinking, fading or changes to the garment's shape.

If ironing is required, use a low-temperature setting suitable for the fabric.

Avoid ironing directly over prints, embroidery, embellishments or decorative details.

Store folded or on a suitable hanger in a cool, dry place.

Please note: Colours may naturally vary slightly between garments, and handmade or decorative details may have small variations. These characteristics are part of the individuality of each piece.

🧺 Bilums, Beanie & Woven Baskets

Our woven pieces may feature natural or mixed fibres and traditional-inspired craftsmanship. Because of this, gentle care is recommended.

To care for your piece:

Keep away from excessive moisture and humidity.

Do not soak, bleach or machine wash.

Gently spot-clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth when necessary.

Allow to air-dry naturally and completely.

Avoid prolonged direct sunlight to help prevent fading.

Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.

Avoid overloading bags or baskets, as excessive weight may stretch or damage the fibres.

Keep away from sharp objects, rough surfaces and anything that may catch on the weave.

Handle tassels, fringe and other decorative details with care.

Natural fibres may soften, change slightly in colour or develop variations over time. These characteristics are part of the natural beauty and individuality of handmade pieces.

💍 Jewellery

To preserve the appearance of your jewellery:

Keep it dry whenever possible.

Remove before showering, swimming or exercising.

Apply perfume, lotions, oils and other beauty products before putting on your jewellery.

Avoid contact with chemicals, cleaning products and excessive moisture.

Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wearing.

Store separately in a dry place to help prevent scratching, tangling or damage.

Handle delicate beads, shells, fibres and decorative elements gently.

A Piece With Character

No two handmade pieces are exactly alike. Variations in colour, texture, pattern, shape and finish are natural characteristics of handcrafted products.

These details are not imperfections — they are part of what makes your piece uniquely yours.

Care for it. Treasure it. Carry its story.
