Introduction to Common Garment Accessories

Common Garment Accessories

In the world of fashion, accessories are like the "seasoning" of a garment; when used correctly, they enhance the garment's value.

Main Labels

1. Main Label/Washing Label  

- Main Label: Typically sewn in visible locations on the garment (such as the neckline or inner waist), printed with the brand name or logo.

- Washing Label: Provides information about the garment's composition, care instructions, country of manufacture, etc., usually located in less visible areas.

2. Size Label/Composition Label  

- Size Label: Indicates the garment's size, such as S, M, L, often combined with the main label or washing label.

- Composition Label: Lists all materials used in the garment and their proportions, sometimes merged with the washing label.

3. Hang Tag/Anti-Counterfeiting Code  

- Hang Tag: Hangs externally on the garment, displaying brand, price, style, size, etc., for easy sales presentation.

- Anti-Counterfeiting Label: Specially designed labels used by brands to prevent counterfeiting.

Woven Labels and Woven Patches

Woven Labels and Woven Patches are commonly used identifiers for garments and other textiles, typically containing brand logos, product information, sizes, or other important details.

- Woven Labels: Usually sewn on the inside of garments, such as neck tags or side seam labels. They include brand name, composition information, care instructions, and sizes, made from materials like polyester or cotton, with flexible designs.

- Woven Patches: Used as decorations on garments or accessories, typically sewn on the outside, often thicker than woven labels and may feature edge covering to prevent wear. They come in various shapes and sizes with versatile designs.

Woven labels and patches use weaving technology to express designs in lines and color blocks, offering high durability and fine pattern representation.

Design and Use of Woven Labels

1. Layering: Multiple woven labels layered or arranged around the pocket, emphasizing decoration and adding depth, enhancing individuality.

2. Edge Stitching: Using contrasting color threads for flat stitches, zigzag stitching, and irregular wave patterns to break the monotony, enhancing visibility.

3. Accessory Combination: Combining woven labels with other accessories, increasing creativity, breaking fixed patterns, improving usability, and enhancing design.

Surface Design of Garments

Brand labels are typically hidden in the back neck area, while washing labels are located at the garment's lower inner side, serving to distinguish the brand name and provide garment information. Nowadays, designers boldly expose brand labels and washing labels on the garment's surface, decorating areas like shoulders or pockets to showcase personality.

High-Profile Displays

With the expansion of designers' creativity, woven labels are no longer hidden but appear in prominent positions. For example:

- Ader Error: A new South Korean trend brand known for its distinctive features, combining artistic and retro themes.

- BAPE: A renowned streetwear brand from Harajuku, Japan, known for simple yet sophisticated designs.

Regular and Playful Labels

- Regular Woven Labels: High-density woven label craftsmanship with simple designs that are easy to pair.

- Playful Woven Labels: Use bright colors and fun graphics, suitable for children, made from lightweight materials for a comfortable feel.
