When a company representative from Sam Vegetable Colours Pvt. Ltd contacted me to see if I was interested in reviewing some of their natural clothing samples which have all been colored with natural dyes, I was quite happy to spread the word for them.
Hand Loomed Natural Fiber Scarves
Silk and bamboo scarf
50% Pure Silk/50% Bamboo Scarf: This scarf was so soft to the touch and it felt great against my skin. It had been dyed a lovely mustard color and I would love to see it colored with other dyes of different hues including red, purple and olive.
Silk and Linen Scarf
50% Silk/50% Linen Scarf: A stunning scarf indeed. This rich red dyed fiber blend has a lovely shine to it. I feel it would make a beautiful clothing accessory to wear for any occasion.
Silk and Khadi Scarf
50% Silk/50% Khadi Scarf: Khadi is another natural fiber which I have never heard of until now. The matt sheen fabric of this scarf was dyed cream.
All of these hand loomed natural fiber scarves were prickle free.
As silk is light weight, all scarves blended with silk makes them so perfect for wear.
About Silk
100% pure silk automatically regulates temperature as its natural protein fiber allows your skin to breathe and it is highly absorbent; giving the ability to keep you warm and snug in winter as well as comfy cool in summer.
Organic Cotton T-Shirts
Organic Cotton Short Sleeve T-Shirt
All of Sam Vegetable Colours Pvt. Ltd organic cotton t-shirts are colored naturally. The t-shirt I received was a lovely shade of brown and made from 100% cotton. I was very pleased with how soft and smooth it felt. It was well made without any imperfections.
I would love to see more retailers and online stores do business with this company. When you feel their organic 100% cotton t-shirts you can tell straight away the difference in quality.
Organic Cotton Socks
Organic Cotton Socks
All three pairs of organic cotton socks I received were naturally dyed in Indigo Blue, Dark Grey and Olive.
These sock samples were made quite well and the colors matched the descriptions.
Sam Vegetable Colours Pvt. Ltd is able to cater for feet/leg calves of various sizes. Just provide them with your measurements and they will be only too happy to accommodate you.
Organic Cotton Denim Fabric
Organic Cotton Denim Fabric
The dark blue organic cotton denim fabric sample I was given to feel can be made into jeans, skirts or jackets.
The fabric is of high quality and I feel would be very comfortable to wear.
