The Fabric Hunt: What Your Cinnamon Closet Tunic Went Through Before Reaching You

Ever wondered how your dreamy Cinnamon Closet tunic began its journey? It's not just about pretty prints and trendy cuts — there's a whole adventure your garment goes through before it reaches your wardrobe.

The Treasure Hunt Begins

We source our fabrics from all over — from bustling textile markets to quiet corners of fabric hubs. But finding "the one" isn’t as simple as picking what looks good. It’s a bit of a treasure hunt. We touch, stretch, and compare every roll until we find prints and solids that are just right — not too loud, not too plain, and perfectly versatile for your work-to-weekend look.

The Fabric Gauntlet: Tests We Run

Once we bring a fabric sample home, the real evaluation begins. Only the toughest, most reliable fabrics make the cut. Here’s what each piece goes through:

Shrinkage Test

We measure the fabric, wash it, and measure it again. If it shrinks too much, it’s out — or it goes for a special pre-wash treatment before being considered again. We never compromise on fit!

Color Fastness Test

We test how well the fabric holds its color after a wash. Any bleeding or fading? That fabric is instantly disqualified. Only the most color-stable materials move forward.

Iron Test

Some fabrics change color when ironed — and not in a good way. If ironing causes even a hint of discoloration, we say goodbye.

Wrinkle Test

We iron, crumple, and observe. If a fabric refuses to stay smooth after ironing, we don’t bother. Our pieces are meant to be fuss-free and wearable, not high maintenance.

Why It Matters

Only the fabrics that pass all of these quality checks become part of the Cinnamon Closet collection. Because when you wear one of our tunics, you deserve more than just a beautiful outfit — you deserve something that’s comfortable, low-maintenance, and built to last.

So the next time you slip into your Cinnamon favorite, remember: that fabric worked hard to earn its place in your wardrobe.
