Apparel Safety : Children's Apparel Safety

Make sure to take some time to browse apparel safety regulations.  The fun part of the fashion industry is to focus on trends and style.  However, we can not lose track of the other aspects of the business.  One of which being safety.  Most certainly children's apparel safety issues.  For example, draw cords, flammability on pajamas etc.

Gucci Handbags : Replica Handbag Annoyance

Aren't you tired of gucci handbag e-mails?  Why do we all get so many e-mails about handbags from brands such as Gucci, Chloé, Coach, Louis Vuitton etc.?  Well, obviously the replica handbag companies make money.  It is very unfortunate that this knock off companies are in existence.  But we must understand the fact that as long as they make money, they will continue.  Therefore, if you want to stop getting these types of messages, you should tell your friends to stop buying the replica handbags.

Here is an example of a message that I received and believe to be a fraud:
"When it refers to the eternal design and elegance, few other handbags can compete with Gucci handbags. Gucci brand has the unique characters of fineness and sheer variety. Gucci handbags are loved by fashion ladies. Now follow the editor, let's see the unique design of Gucci handbags in detail.
In 2010, the new edition of Gucci handbags Gucci bamboo handbags will meet its funs. Bamboo material from the nature of the handles make the bag strong and not easily broken. The symbols of Gucci logo are Double G and bright red and green combination. And also this is the classic Gucci logo design from the beginning. All the Gucci products have the classic Gucci logo on the surfaces of them such as Gucci handbags, Gucci handbags fall winter, Gucci wallets etc. Apart from the classic Gucci handbags, Gucci is going to make some changes in this year.

The material of the handbags can be another important factor to affect the purchase desire apart from the design of style. In the era that cow leather and sheepskin are so common and can not meet the needs of all the women, rare material are so popular now. The Gucci Indy handbags made from crocodile leather will make you mature and elegant. The pink color of this bag is limit edition for Asian, and Asian women are crazy about it for they can not resist the attraction of limit edition. Gucci handbags spring summer has a huge capacity for you to carry more things with you and the material is soft and gentle.
All the women will crazy about it. Gucci wallets like Gucci men wallets and Gucci women wallets are also fashion in style and very popular. The color of Gucci wallets are bright but with the characters of mature and steady. Gucci men wallets are popular for their special design and unique Gucci logo on the surface of the whole body of the wallets. How about own Gucci bags or Gucci wallets now? In recent years, buy things online has become more and more popular and very fashion. (here they listed website name).com is a good online store selling top quality Gucci shoes, Gucci bags and Gucci wallets in cheap prices. How about visit it now?"

We need to watch out for this type of letter and ignore them.  The real gucci handbags for sure will be made of better quality then the replicas.

If you are interested, you can learn more about handbags at the designer handbag directory.

Please note that the Designer Handbag Directory is based on a search technology.  Unfortunately, it searches the web in its entirety.  It is possible that the search results will pull information from some of the websites created by the "bad apples".  Therefore, as always, becareful to distinguish between the legit websites and replica sites. 

If you find companies that appear to be up to no good, I would recommend contacting the company that owns the brand.  They most likely have a department that will investigate the situation and try to shut the bad websites down.

Fairisle

Guess what I did not know?  Well, actually I do not know a great deal.  But I mean what word did I not know in the past five minutes.  If you have not already guessed from the title of this blog post, you may be as clueless as I am...  Anyway, the word that I did not know until I did some research was "Fairisle". 

It turns out that fairisle is a  knitting style that originated in the Shetland Islands of Scotland, which is characterized by geometric-shaped patterns.

I guess we are now all just a little smarter..

pH Value Test Apparel Fabrics

pH value is to test the acid and alkali contents remained in apparel fabrics. Apparel fabrics which can directly contact with the skin has a relatively higher requirement on PH value. PH value will not make the skin itchy if controlled between weak acid or neutrality.

Fabric suppliers should emphasize the treatment on printing and dyeing process to avoid the excessive PH value. Export-oriented textile and garment companies should focus on the product quality during the production and strictly control the fabric inspection to ensure the garment quality to reach the requirement of security, sanitation and environmental protection.

Testing Labs such as Intertek, SGS, STR, CTL can test for PH Value.

pH of the Water-Extract from Web Processed Textiles

Developed in 1954 by AATCC Committee RA34

Purpose and Scope (Here is just a summary)

1.1 This test method determines the pH of wet processed textiles.
1.2 To make a quantitative determination, the chemicals which influence pH must be removed from the textile specimen, collected as a water extract then accurately measured by a pH meter.

Here is the test method of pH test AATCC 81-2006 as below:

- Use 10 g specimen, cut into small pieces. Then Boil 250 ml distilled water for 10 minutes, immerse the specimen, cover the beaker with a watch glass and boil for an additional 10 minutes. Allow the covered beaker and contents to cool down to room temperature.

Finally determine the pH of the extract using a pH meter.

Note: Check with AATCC or testing lab for the most current and accurate details of the testing and procedures. 

Learn more about apparel quality testing, testing methods, and testing labs.

You may also have interest in the Fashion Newspaper article regarding textile testing at Apparel Testing and Textile Testing : Intertek.

I am not certain, but I think that the pH value test for apparel and fabrics may be pH value (AATCC 81 – 2006).  I had seen this on a testing report.  However, I could not today find this AATCC test method listed on the AATCC website.

Women's Clothing Stores

Are you looking for clothing stores that sells women's clothing?  Well, I happen to know a good place to began your search.  Try the women's clothing stores directories below.

By the way, the above links are from the Apparel Search site. If you go to the retailer section, you will then find a section called Retailers By Category.  You can then find the retail women's clothing stores section.  If you prefer, you can shop by retail store location.

Wholesale Lingerie Directory

OK, I will be honest.  I actually enjoy researching information regarding the fashion industry.  With that said, I have particular categories that I find most interesting.  Some people enjoy shoes, some enjoy blouses, and others are fascinated with handbags.  I however, am rather interested in the study of lingerie.  Therefore, I think that I will work on improving the wholesale lingerie directory section of the Apparel Search website in the near future.  Possibly, I will improve the layout similar to the lingerie guide section which contains information regarding retailers, manufacturers as well as wholesalers of lingerie.  Anyway, I think I should put way more attention into this area of the site.
 
By the way, if you are not thrilled with the wholesale lingerie directory on Apparel Search, you can try the search engine at the apparel wholesaler website.

Blank t shirts in Los Angeles, CA

Today I was asked, "Where can I come pick up some blank t shirts in Los Angeles, CA?"
 
My answer was, "There is a company called American Apparel.  You can find others at the corporate apparel page and blank t-shirt pages on Apparel Search".  I guess I should have pointed out to the person that they could also check the fashion blanks section.   Anyway, I figured I would post this information just incase anyone else was looking for blank t-shirts in Los Angeles California.
 
By the way, do you know what a blank t shirt is?  If not, here is a brief description, "What are blank t-shirts?"
 
If you are interested, you can further research Men's Corporate Apparel and Women's Corporate Apparel.

My "WHY" Fashion Design

Hi there everybody, fellow fashion lovers, I sometimes try to explain in my head why do I want to be a fashion designer? This may seem like I'm not serious about being a fashion designer if this is something I'm frequently asking my self. Well first off, the reason I'm asking myself this all the time is because everybody looks at my desire to be a fashion designer as rather a joke, yes this is painful, the other reason is because I seek to find this unique drive I sense in myself as the major

Coral Used in Jewelry : Is International Protection Needed - SeaWeb, WWF

Secretariat of Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species recommends increased trade protection for red and pink corals.

Countries participating in a major endangered species trade conference in March must back better protection for red and pink coral, according to SeaWeb and WWF. These coral species are disappearing because of overfishing to make jewelry.

Red and pink coral (also known as Corallium) are a type of deep-sea precious coral found in the Mediterranean and Pacific. Between 30 and 50 metric tonnes of these corals are fished annually to meet consumer demand for jewelry and decorative items. The United States alone imported 28 million pieces of red and pink coral between 2001 and 2008.
