Our fabrics are subjected to a thourough quality check before dispatching and most often fabrics are sent in pristine condition. However, occasionally we receive fabrics with minor flaws that we might miss. We’re only human afterall. 🙂 Flaws can be small discolorations, small weaving slubs, or flecks. The integrity of the original cotton plant will inevitably be visible in parts of the fabric from time to time. We do not consider these things to be flaws but rather to be considered as a unique and beautiful part of their character and overall appeal of the fabric. If you believe you’ve received a fabric with a corruptible flaw, please email us a picture and we will proceed to find the best solution.
