At the factory stage, fabric undergoes third-party testing for integrity. It's trialled for three main things: light degradation, which refers to dye fading in the sun, colour transfer (this one is pretty self-explanatory) and friction, whereby the fabric is rubbed with a rough surface to test for its sensitivity to pilling.

Nowadays, Cheong mostly buys vintage, as well as supporting independent designers – and has saved a significant amount of money doing so. “I think this is [a] more meaningful [way of shopping],” she explains. “I try to support young brands [that offer] really great quality.”I really appreciated the amount of research that went into the book, from details about materials and their manufacturing processes to quotes from businesses trying to operate more sustainably within the fashion world.
