Perfectly Imperfect Notice:
A Note on ‘Gas Fume Fading’
Deadstock fabric by its nature, does not come to Fabworks straight off the weaving loom, and usually, but not always, we know the previous storage conditions. Whilst Fabworks buys high quality fabrics (mostly commissioned by high end designers and fashion brands), often there is no exact date of manufacture nor proof of the temperature and light conditions at which it was stored.
From time to time, some natural fibre fabrics—particularly those in delicate lighter shades—may experience a rare phenomenon known as ‘gas fume fading’. This is a rare reaction of certain dyes in natural fibre textiles when exposed to the air, and results in a subtle discolouration over time. It should be noted that this does not affect the quality or longevity of the fabric. The pieces affected show a faint faded line down the length of the fabric, where it has been folded to half width—a gentle reminder of its journey before reaching you. This is an uncommon occurrence, but one we feel is worth mentioning, as part of our commitment to transparency and care. We recommend ordering extra fabric to allow for this imperfection – note that the width of the fabric is the true width, not accounting for the faint fading down the middle of the length.
