Frequently asked questions
Can I wash my Pachagurú item?

Yes. All our naturally dyed and eco-printed textiles go through a durability testing process to ensure good color fastness and everyday usability. However, as with any handcrafted piece made with natural pigments, proper care will help preserve its beauty over time. Care recommendations:

Hand washing is preferred. - Alternatively, machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. - Use mild detergents and avoid bleach. - Dry naturally, away from direct sunlight.

The less frequently the item is washed, the longer the colors will remain vibrant. Because every Pachagurú piece is created using natural dyes and botanical processes, subtle changes over time are part of its unique character and story.
Will my piece look exactly like the photo?

No. Each piece is unique. Color variations occur depending on season, plant origin, climate, and textile batch. This uniqueness is part of the beauty of natural dyeing.
Do natural dyes fade?

Our colors are carefully fixed using traditional botanical methods. With proper care, they age softly and gracefully rather than fading abruptly. Natural dyes evolve, they are not static like synthetic pigments.
Are your textiles truly sustainable?

We avoid petrochemical dyes and industrial chemical processes. Our fabrics are 100% reused cotton, and we operate in small production batches. While no textile production is impact-free, we continuously work toward deeper environmental responsibility.
Do you collaborate with hotels or interior projects?

Yes. We develop custom pieces and capsule collections for boutique hotels and 4–5 star hospitality spaces, particularly within the Swiss Alps and Europe. We can adapt sizing, tones, and concepts according to spatial identity.
Do you create custom orders?

Yes. We offer bespoke pieces and limited capsule developments. Production timelines depend on the scale of the project.
What kind of botanical waste do you use?

We work through collaborative alliances with local shops, agronomic industries, wineries, restaurants, and hotels. We receive and repurpose botanical by-products such as:

  • Grape must from wine production
  • Onion skins
  • Avocado pits
  • Pomegranate peels
  • Reused coffee grounds
  • Wine residues
  • Seasonal plant surplus

Each material is evaluated depending on territory, season, and available production excess. This circular collaboration allows waste to become pigment, and pigment to become textile story.
