Color Transfer test on Purse Organizer

CloverSac Emma 28 is widely used on expensive handbags such as Hermes Birkin and Kelly handbags. When it comes to the selection of the material used to construct this purse organizer, we are very careful in choosing the right material with high color fastness.

What is color fastness?

Color fastness means material’s ability to retain color in various conditions. These conditions is as follow:

  • Color fastness to light.
  • Color fastness to wash.
  • Color fastness to water.
  • Color fastness to rubbing.
  • Color fastness to perspiration and so on.

What we are primarily concern is whether the dye used used on Emma 28 will transfer during rubbing, wash, and water. To prove that, we decide to conduct our own test if color transfer might be expected to occur during washing and rubbing.

To begin, we prepare a paid of boiling water. The reason why we use hot water and not normal water is because we want to lower the attraction of the loose dye if there are any to encourage it to lift off.

We then soak the Red Emma 28 into a pail of boiling water.

We also placed a white cotton cloth in the same pail as Emma 28.

Here you will see a white cotton clothing soak between our red Emma 28. If there are any loose dye, the white cotton clothing will turn red, the water as well.

We use the white cotton cloth and did some rubbing against Emma 28 to see if any color transfer happen. Result is negative, no color transfer occurs in spite of the rubbing.

We then allow the white cotton cloth to sit in the boiling water with Emma 28 for the next 12 hours.

The result is negative as it no sign of red dye on the white cotton cloth after almost 12 hours of soaking.
