If you look closely at a Threads of Gulab piece, you'll find small inconsistencies — a print that's a shade darker on one panel than another, a motif that lands slightly off its mirror line. We don't consider these defects.
They're the result of fabric being dyed and printed by hand rather than by machine. Natural dye absorbs differently depending on humidity, the exact mix of pigment, and the pressure of each stamp. A factory print controls for all of that. A hand-printed one doesn't, because a person — not a program — is making the decisions as they go.
We could source machine-printed fabric that would look more uniform. We haven't, because the inconsistency is what tells you the piece was actually made by hand, and that matters more to us than uniformity does.
If a variation on your piece looks unusual to you, it's very likely intentional — a normal result of the process, not a manufacturing error. If you're ever unsure, reach out and we'll tell you exactly what you're looking at.
