How should kurtis and salwar suits be stored to prevent wrinkles and fabric damage?

Best storage practices for kurtis and salwar suits:

  • Hang, do not fold — for georgette and chiffon: These fabrics crease permanently at fold lines. Always hang on padded or fabric hangers — not wire hangers that deform shoulders.
  • Fold for cotton: Cotton kurtis can be folded neatly. Stack with heaviest on the bottom.
  • Avoid plastic bags: Plastic traps moisture and causes mildew, especially in humid climates. Use muslin or cotton garment bags for long-term storage.
  • Separate embellished pieces: Sequins, mirrors, and beads scratch other garments — store separately or wrap in tissue paper.
  • Keep away from direct sunlight: Fabric colours fade even in storage if near a sunny window.
  • Use camphor or neem leaves: Natural moth and insect deterrents — keep them in the wardrobe but not touching the fabric directly.
💡 For boutique owners storing catalog stock: open shelving with garments separated by category prevents crush-wrinkles and makes restocking easier.
