I had quite a few different cuts and all were from different LQS - all brand name - Hoffman Bali, Timeless Tonga, Kaufman Artisan and Island. Since I washed similar shades together I am not sure which was the worst. I mentioned the bleeding to one of the LQS owners and she said that a lot of the bright or deeper colours require a greater concentration of dye and hence the bleeding.
