FABRICS STORY

100% COTTON FABRIC

The journey of cotton begins in ancient times, likely around 6000 BCE, in the Indus Valley of present-day Pakistan and India. Originating from the cotton plant’s seed fibers. Its properties:

Softness: Cotton fabrics are naturally soft and gentle against the skin.

Breathability: Cotton is highly breathable, allowing air to circulate through the fabric and helping to regulate body temperature, especially in warm weather.

Absorbency: Cotton has excellent moisture absorption properties, making it effective at wicking away sweat and moisture from the body, enhancing comfort.

Durability: Cotton fibers are strong and durable, which helps maintain the integrity of the fabric even after multiple washes and wears.

Hypoallergenic: Cotton is generally hypoallergenic and less likely to cause allergic reactions or skin irritations compared to synthetic fibers.

Biodegradability: Cotton is a natural fiber and is biodegradable, making it environmentally friendly and reducing its impact on landfills.

Comfort: The combination of softness, breathability, and absorbency contributes to the overall comfort of cotton fabrics.

Insulation: Cotton provides insulation by trapping air between its fibers, which can help keep the body warm in cooler temperatures.

Easy Care: Cotton fabrics are relatively easy to care for and can be machine-washed and dried, with most cotton garments becoming softer with each wash.

Natural Luster: Cotton fibers have a natural luster that enhances the fabric’s appearance.

Wrinkle Resistance: While cotton can wrinkle, certain cotton blends and finishes are designed to reduce wrinkling.

Sustainability: Organic and sustainable cotton farming practices are gaining prominence, reducing the use of chemicals and promoting environmentally responsible agriculture.

WASH CARE

 Proper care is crucial to ensure the longevity and quality of cotton fabrics. Follow these guidelines to keep your cotton garments in excellent condition:

Sorting and Washing: Separate colors, Use a gentle washing machine cycle.

Water Temperature: Cold or lukewarm water prevents color fading and shrinkage. Reserve warmer water for heavy soiling.

Drying: Tumble dry on low to medium heat to prevent excessive shrinkage. Line drying is gentler and preserves colors. Avoid drying in direct sunlight.

Ironing: Iron slightly damp with medium heat. High heat can damage fibers.

Stain Removal: Blot stains with a remover or mild soap before washing.

Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Over washing: Limit washing to prevent fiber weakening. Repeated wear is fine if items aren’t heavily soiled.

Shrinking Prevention: Avoid hot water and high heat settings during drying.

Whitening Agents: Do not use bleach  as it can weaken fibers and cause discoloration.

Abrasion: Turn items inside out before washing to preserve colors and prints.

By adopting these practices, your cotton fabrics will remain comfortable, vibrant, and durable over time, enhancing your enjoyment of them
