Reactive dye
A technique in which dye forms a chemical bond with a suitable fibre. Colouring cotton is one of its applications.
The detail that defines it.
Reactive describes the dye type and fixation, rather than the stage of dyeing. It can be used on fabric or finished garments according to the style’s process.
Three stages for adding colour.
The stage of dyeing and the way colour is fixed are different things. Pigments and reactive dyes can be used at different stages.
Care starts with understanding.
Follow the label. Colour fastness depends on application and the complete treatment, rather than a guarantee of unchanging colour.
Your garment’s label has the final word. Check its composition and specific instructions before washing, drying or ironing.
Every garment has its own details.
Check each style’s product page for composition, weight, origin and finishes. This guide explains concepts rather than replacing its specific information.
