Has the material used on the purse organizer being certified?
Check if they send their purse organizer for crocking test like AATCC Test Method 8 or ISO Test Method 105-X12. This sort of test helps to determine the amount of color transferred from the surface of colored textile material to other surfaces by rubbing. After the test is conducted, the colored textile material will then be graded from 1 to 5. With 1 being the worse color transfer and 5 with no significant color transfer.
