At Tari - The Loom Theory, our commitment to honesty and sustainability is woven into every thread of our clothing. We believe that understanding what you're wearing is crucial, so every Tari garment comes with a complimentary fabric swatch. This swatch is not just a sample of beautiful patterns and textures but a tool to verify the fabric content right at home. In a world filled with adulteration and environmental challenges, it is increasingly important to be aware of the materials in your clothes, both for personal health and ecological sustainability.
Why is transparency important in the fashion industry?
At Tari, we are rooted in honesty and sustained by sustainability. By providing these fabric swatches, we empower you to make informed decisions about your clothing. The burn test, combined with the feel and drape of the fabric, helps you confidently distinguish between natural and synthetic materials. Transparency is key in helping consumers understand the lifecycle of their clothes, from how they are made to how they should be disposed of, ensuring environmental benefits and reducing negative impacts.
How can you test the fabric at home?
Have you ever wondered if a fabric is entirely 100% cotton? Or if you can differentiate between 100% cotton and other fabrics? We have the answers for you with a simple DIY burn test, which you can conduct safely and comfortably with our fabric swatches.
What are the characteristics of different fabrics when burned?
100% Cotton: When burned, cotton produces a steady flame and leaves behind fine, grey ash. This is the hallmark of natural cotton.
Viscose: This fabric, which is often mistaken for cotton, burns with a deep orange flame and emits a distinct odour similar to burning paper.
Poly Silk: As a synthetic blend, poly silk behaves differently. It will melt, emit a strong chemical smell, and leave behind a hard, black residue.
What is the overall goal of Tari's fabric swatch initiative?
With Tari, transparency is key. Our complimentary fabric swatches are your window into the world of sustainable clothing, ensuring that you can choose with confidence and trust in the integrity of what you wear. We are committed to not only providing beautiful, durable fabrics but also educating our customers on the environmental impacts of their choices and how they can contribute to a more sustainable planet.
