We try our best to ensure photos provide an accurate representation of the colour of an item however different dye batches across different products, screen resolutions, and lighting can change the shade of an item in the picture.

We recommend purchasing a full range and quantity at one time to ensure similar colour consistency. Future orders have the possibility of rendering a slight variation in colour.

Images have been provided for illustrative purposes only and we do not guarantee that any image will reproduce in true colour nor that any given image will reflect or portray the full design or options relating to that product.

The nature of handmade means products may possess slight colour or size differences. Cotton crops and natural dye methods can vary slightly from batch to batch. Artisans may also choose to give their pieces a varied motif. We feel these irregularities and artisan interpretations are the beauty of handmade products therefore no two textiles will never be exactly the same. If you have any questions or concerns before ordering, please contact us shop@taeclaos.org.
