Will the fabric color and embroidery look exactly like the pictures?
We take great care to photograph our fabrics accurately in natural lighting. However, please note that slight color variations may occur due to different monitor settings, phone screens, and lighting conditions. Additionally, because our luxury fabrics are crafted in production batches, there may be very minor variations in dye lots or delicate embroidery/stone details between restocks.
