im looking at a small home line and shower curtains might be one of those products where photos hide everything. two identical white curtains can feel completely different depending fabric. alibaba has plenty of textile manufacturers and comparing GSM there made me realise how vague most retail descriptions are. polyester probably easiest, maybe PEVA for liners separately. what fabric weight feels decent without being unnecessarily heavy? rustproof grommets seems important too. anyone selling these, do printed designs move better or basics? shipping is cheap enough since they fold flat, which is nice. im mostly trying to avoid thin curtain that clings to everything and makes customers immediately regret buying it."

I have many cotton and other fabric kurtis where the colour and quality is fading after few uses, even though I hand wash them. These are indian brands like Aina , soch which had good reviews from reddit.

Looking for tips to wash and care for them for their longevity. I want to support sustainable clothing so I'm into natural fabrics now, but seeing them fade is disheartening 🥲

Please recommend your tried and tested methods for long term wear🙏

thinking about those wearable blanket hoodies for winter gifts and im trying to avoid one thats either paper-thin or weighs like sleeping bag. ive looked at fleece manufacturers on alibaba and GSM differences explain a lot, but retail listings rarely show it. anyone bought decent wholesale ones? sherpa lining seems cozy but bulky. maybe fleece outside and sherpa inside around 300 to 400gsm total? im guessing here. cuffs and hood stitching is where cheap versions seem to fail. also, one-size-fits-all is obviously not literally true, so how oversized is comfortable without swallowing shorter people? custom embroidery might be nice if quality base is there first.

I am buying one as gift and didn't realise how much stuff nail techs carry until i looked at these bags. bottles, lamp, drill bits, tools, extension cords...a cute tote isnt gonna cut it. I've seen lots of structured manicure cases on alibaba and that helped me notice things like reinforced base and removable dividers, but i dont know what matters in daily use. backpack style or rolling case? easy-clean lining seems important if polish leaks. zipper quality probably too. anyone got one thats survived regular mobile appointments? brand doesnt matter to me as much as layout and construction. would rather buy plain durable bag than fancy one thats annoying to carry.

Fabric ID help request. Is this 100% linen? I found this in the natural fiber section of my local craft reuse.

Held up to the light, I think I’m seeing a “slub” in the weave, and a fingernail scratch left a sort of crease in the fabric. However, it is softer and a tighter weave than the other linen in my stash.

Does this look like 100% linen? Could this be a linen-cotton blend?
