2. Colour & Fabric Information


We take pride in the quality of our fabrics. However, certain natural fabric characteristics may occur:

  • Slight colour variation may occur due to lighting, screen display, and dyeing process differences.
  • Fabrics may soften or show slight colour changes after washing depending on material and care method.
  • These variations are considered part of normal textile behaviour within industry standards.

All colour or discolouration claims are assessed on a case-by-case basis and are subject to inspection.

Eligible for assessment:

  • Noticeable or uneven fading after washing.
  • Patchy or irregular discolouration affecting garment appearance.
  • Colour bleeding or transfer after wash.
  • Significant change from original condition upon receipt or after first wash.


Not automatically considered a defect:

  • Minor colour variation due to lighting or screen difference.
  • Natural softening of colour after wash when care instructions are followed.

All claims must follow KHATAM® Quality Claims Policy and are subject to inspection and approval.
