About Pigment Dyes

This item features a pigment-dyed finish. In pigment dyeing, rather than immersing the fabric in a dye bath, finely ground pigments in powder form are attached to the fabric's surface using a binder. This method doesn't saturate the fabric completely, and some of the pigment tends to fall off over time, giving the fabric a distinctive vintage look and feel.

Although we use a color-fixing agent to minimize color transfer, there is still a possibility that some pigment may rub off onto the Smart Doll, potentially resembling a stain. If noticed promptly, this powder can usually be removed with paint thinner. The degree of pigment transfer varies; some may experience it, while others may not at all. We assign a "Medium" Stain Risk Rating to pigment-dyed items for this reason – you can learn more about this rating and its implications.

If the potential for pigment transfer is a concern for you, we recommend avoiding pigment-dyed items.
