What Is Garment Washed?

Garment washing is a finishing process that alters the texture, color, and appearance of clothing after sewing, enhancing softness, visual depth, or a vintage finish.

Why Brands Use It?

Washed effects create faded, worn-in looks or special surface treatments that boost retail value and fashion appeal.
