Details
A festival kurta and pyjama in 120 GSM handloom cotton woven in Erode, Tamil Nadu, carrying the Handloom Mark issued through the Textiles Committee, and dyed with natural indigo and myrobalan on an alum mordant. Two separate frauds are being answered here. The first is the one the mark exists for: powerloom cloth sold as handloom, undetectable in a shop and one of the largest frauds in Indian textiles. The second is the one that matters more on a child. Azo dyes release aromatic amines that are restricted in India and the EU and are used on childrenswear precisely because festival colours sell. Formaldehyde resin goes on to keep the garment crisp on a hanger. Nickel-plated poppers go on because they are cheap, and nickel is one of the commonest contact allergens there is. And a garment that was never pre-shrunk drops a full size, which on a child means the set is finished after one wash rather than one season.
- Handloom Mark on the set, woven in Erode, Tamil Nadu
- No azo dyes. Natural indigo and myrobalan on an alum mordant, screened to EN 14362-1, nothing detected.
- Free formaldehyde below 20 mg per kg, ISO 14184-1
- No nickel anywhere. Coconut-shell buttons, no poppers, no metal trims.
- No cord at the neck at any size, to EN 14682. The only drawstring is at the pyjama waist, flat, and knotted at both ends.
- 100 percent cotton by ISO 1833, 120 GSM measured to ISO 3801
- Residual shrinkage under 2 percent after five washes, ISO 6330
- 2 in let-down hem on the kurta, so it fits through a growth spurt instead of being outgrown
- Natural dye is genuinely less colourfast than azo dye. It rates 3 to 4 to washing and settles a shade lighter over two washes. That is the trade for a dye you can accept against a child's skin.
- Wash it separately for the first two washes

Safety, fibre and construction

- Azo dyes
- EN 14362-1, no restricted aromatic amine detected
- Formaldehyde
- Below 20 mg per kg free formaldehyde, ISO 14184-1
- Nickel
- No metal fasteners at all, so no nickel release. Buttons are coconut shell, double-stitched.
- Cords
- No cord or tie at the neck at any size, to EN 14682. Pyjama drawstring is flat, tacked, and knotted at both ends so it cannot be pulled through.
- Fibre composition
- 100 percent cotton, tested to ISO 1833
- Weight
- 120 GSM, measured to ISO 3801
- Weave, origin and proof
- Plain weave handloom, Erode, Tamil Nadu, carrying the Handloom Mark
- Residual shrinkage
- Under 2 percent after five washes, ISO 6330
- Colourfastness
- Washing 3 to 4, dry rubbing 4, wet rubbing 3, ISO 105 grey scale, which is what natural dye gives
- Stitching
- 12 stitches per inch, seams overlocked and topstitched, no raw edges inside
- Labels
- Printed inside the side seam, no stiff woven tag at the neck
- Trims
- No sequins, no glued motifs, no plastic appliques
Care, and what it will honestly do
- Wash
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent
- First two washes
- Wash separately. Natural dye releases and the shade settles about one step lighter, then holds.
- Colourfastness
- 3 to 4 to washing is genuinely lower than an azo dye would give. It is the price of a dye you can accept on a child.
- Dry
- Line dry in shade. Strong sun fades plant dye faster.
- Iron
- Medium iron while damp
- Growing
- Release the 5 cm hem at the first tailor visit rather than buying the next size
