Creating each product is a lengthy process rooted in the crafts-based traditions of wood block printing, dying & embroidery, each with its own specialty and character.
Fabric Care
We offer following information and care suggestions which will help you extend the life of your products even further.
Fabric Care For Cotton
Properties
Most of Puurple.Co clothing is 100% pure cotton. Handwoven cotton fabric has the added value of allowing more air penetration and is therefore cooler, softer, more absorbent. This added breathability means you will stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Cotton is a very strong fibre, even when wet, so it holds up very well to repeated laundering.
Shrinkage
During the dyeing and printing processes, the yarn and then the fabric is repeatedly washed. This helps to ensure full dye penetration, removes residual surface dye & also reduces shrinkage in the final tailored product. Depending on how you care for the product, additional shrinkage ranges from 5-10% for printed fabrics.
Wash Care
Please refer to the specific care instructions with the garment. Because cotton is so strong when wet, caring for cotton is very simple and the more you wash it, the softer and more absorbent it becomes. The following tips will help you extend the life of the product.

Disclaimer :
Fabrics such as cotton, wool, rayon, silk and linen tend to shrink due to the natural properties of the material. We have no way of determining the inherent properties of a dyed fabric, as many processes and finishes may have been used prior to us receiving the garment. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for shrinkage.
Please do not spray deodorant, mist or perfume on the dress directly and avoid using one especially for gold & silver prints.
