Care Labels

Hi all,

I'm currently doing a project regarding Care labels of kids garment. Have a few question in mind.

Is care label a factor that will affects your decision on purchasing that particular garment?

Do you prefer symbols or descriptive instructions for the care labels? Why?

Are the symbols easy to understand?

Thanks for replying me! =)

You have raised good questions. Personally, I think that the key to your statement is that it is "kids" fashion. Kids get their clothes very dirty... Personally, I would stay away from clothing that needs to be dry cleaned for kids (other then special occasion clothing). Care symbols are not that simple. However, there are a few sites that explain the meaning. Personally, I like reading the instructions, not just having symbols on the label. This is just "one" persons thoughts... Never really did research on consumer opinion on your questions.

You can learn more about care labels on Apparel Search. You may have interest in the following two pages.

The idea of care label is to warn the user, rather the one who will wash the clothes in how to maintain the product well. Its suppose to be informative so that i will easy to understand, instruction is should be descriptive. Sometimes symbols are not easy to understand, be specific when you use that. Most of the fashion trends these days have a lot of embellishment with it and should have that care label to treat the garment right.
