How To Distinguish Genuine And False Cashmere Sweaters?

As the Spring Festival draws near, cashmere sweater shopping malls, cashmere sweater stores and cashmere weaving shops of shopping centers in Taiyuan are filled with customers and people. The cashmere sweater, which is expensive and expensive for many years, is gradually accepted by the public and quickly enters the hundred surname wardrobe.

However, in the face of the market, there are hundreds of yuan, and more than 10000 yuan.

With doubt, in January 24th, the reporter invited the provincial Fiber Inspection Bureau and the responsible person of the provincial washing and dyeing industry association to check the veil of the high price of cashmere sweater, and explore the real reasons for the price difference.

Field visits

Shopping malls: the price difference with the brand cashmere sweater is several times.

In January 24th, our reporter and the provincial Fiber Inspection Bureau inspected the chief of the division, and went to a shopping mall in Kaihua Temple Street, Taiyuan.

In the special brand of more than thirty cashmere sweaters, such as Montagut, jelli, MI Huang, and fur dogs, the new cashmere sweaters sold in autumn and winter basically sell from 5 to 40 percent off. The discount price of women's cashmere tops is 900-1700 yuan, and the new men's cashmere tops are 300-800 yuan more expensive than women's cashmere tops.

In the same counter, the price of products of similar styles and components is quite different.

In Ordos

Ma Lamei introduced that the price difference of cashmere with brand, similar style and weight is quite different from the quality grade of raw materials selected by manufacturers.

According to the relevant production technology standards in China, the fine cashmere is the best cashmere. The diameter of this cashmere is 14.5 microns and its length is over 40 millimeters. Its softness, close fitting and warmth retention are obviously higher than other types and grades of cashmere.

"Cashmere is divided into three types and eight grades.

The quality of raw materials used is low and the price of finished products is naturally low.

"Ma also said that in addition, brand value, design input, product promotion, the department store and the store's rentals and other factors, the price of clothing products has a very great impact.

"Any product pays attention to brand value. The quality of some two or three line brands is also good, because the product design and service marketing are not in place. The cashmere sweater with similar type and weight is lower than the first line brand product.

"Ma La Mei told reporters that many brands with high brand value will launch different grades of products in different customer groups and re register their trademarks, such as 1436 of Ordos and Jimmy noonolas, which belong to the high-end products of the brand, and the main product of Ordos Austria group is woolen sweaters.

After visiting the more than 30 counters one by one, Ma Lamei said, judging from the samples from the counters, the cashmere products of the shopping center were more standardized, and no fake and shoddy products were found.

"From the market inspection and daily consumption supervision results of the Provincial Bureau of commodity inspection, the cashmere sweater sampling rate and quality of the brand cashmere sweater shop and the brand shopping center special store are significantly higher than that of the wholesale market and the brand name products.

"Ma La Mei said.

Consumer tips

The brand value of cashmere sweater is divided into three hundred and sixty nine, even if the products of the same brand are of different quality.

When consumers buy brand cashmere sweaters, first of all, they should be clear about their preferences, whether they are comfortable or affordable.

The results of many years of factory inspection and raw material sampling and inspection by the inspection department indicate that the brand products are superior in terms of raw material control and production technology.

Cashmere sweaters that are too cheap for cashmere may not be adulterated, but their processing, after-sale service and product quality are more or less flawed.

Store: brand hybrid consumers are hard to distinguish

There are several cashmere sweater shops in an alley near the shopping mall.

The reporter then visited a small shop.

"Before the Spring Festival, we no longer enter new products. The existing styles are sold at the lowest price.

"This cashmere sweater shop in 2010 autumn and winter new main products, mostly in plastic models, some of the public products hanging on the hanger, and some special products in special cars.

Ma Lamei clutched at different cashmere sweaters and had some clothes to sniff.

"You see, the cashmere sweaters on the models are all brand names. The logo is clear and the cashmere fabric is soft and elastic similar to that of the Department Store cashmere sweater.

But the products on the hangers and special cars are rather chaotic.

Some of them are of good quality, some are cashmere blouses, and some cashmere is not enough.

"Ma La Mei picked up a brown lady's cashmere sweater from a special car. The tag said that the name of the lady's cashmere sweater was marked with" Cashmere 30% fine wool 70% ".

"Only cashmere is more than 95%, and the rest of the fabric is woollen, so it can be called cashmere sweater.

This dress should be called woolen cashmere blouses at best.

"Ma La Mei said.

Subsequently, Ma La Mei picked up a cashmere sweater priced at only 280 yuan. He carefully looked at it and said, "this may be a wool cashmere sweater."

"Reporters also went up and touched, clenched and felt soft and furry. It seemed that they were not very different from other cashmere sweaters.

But Ma Lamei told reporters that some manufacturers will be flexible to deal with superfine wool, then the sweater can become soft and bulky, enough to be false and true, posing as cashmere sweater.

"And this cashmere sweater is too cheap to be suspicious.

"Ma Lan Mei said that this year, the price of a ton of ordinary grade cashmere raw materials reached about 800000 yuan, about 0.8 yuan per gram.

A cashmere sweater usually needs 250 cashmere cashmere, plus the production cost of twisting, washing and dyeing, weaving, cutting, logistics and marketing. The cost price of a 250 gram cashmere sweater should be over 500 yuan, and the retail price will reach seven hundred or eight hundred yuan.

"How much is the cashmere content of this coat? It needs to be further examined by cutting the fabric to know.

"Ma La Mei said that she would then check with other colleagues about the quality of the cashmere store, and if it found unqualified products, the inspection department would investigate and deal with it in accordance with the law.

Consumer reminder

Small and medium-sized cashmere sweater stores purchase channels are complex, product quality is mixed.

Some shops open or move in a year, bringing great difficulties to consumers' rights protection and law enforcement.

Experts remind consumers that when choosing goods in a more complex cashmere sweater store, they must buy the main brand products in the store. The trademark, product number, style and composition content of the clothing tag should be clear, and consumers should ask for regular invoices with the merchants to safeguard their rights.

Knitting shop: vague quality of bills does not guarantee {page_break}

Compared with the price of department store cashmere sweater, cashmere knitted shop cashmere sweater price is cheaper than 1/3.

What about the quality of the cashmere sweater knitted in the knitting shop? Our reporter and experts from the Bureau of silk inspection conducted a visit.

"Special price line 300 yuan a Jin, common line seven hundred or eight hundred yuan a Jin, the most expensive 3000 yuan a Jin, you see first.

"In a cashmere weaving shop in Binzhou Road, Taiyuan, customers crowded the store.

The salesmen said that most cashmere lines had samples of garment samples, and some cashmere lines with higher prices had no garment samples.

An aunt with clothes told reporters that the main contents of ordering small tickets were the style and specifications of the cashmere sweater, and the number and delivery date of cashmere line.

Ma Lamei is still like grocery stores and boutiques.

According to Ma Lamei, from the sample, the cashmere line with a higher price has a good feel, and the cashmere line of 300 yuan a Jin is obviously tied up. It is definitely not pure cashmere.

And 3000 yuan a kilogram of cashmere line, no clothing samples, consumers want to order, can only choose colors from the color palette provided by businesses.

From the stamp size sample, Ma Lamei said she could not see the content and quality of cashmere.

Consumer reminder

Many cashmere weaving shops are unstable in their business status, store locations and cooperative processors.

Whether the processors will be shoddy in the processing process is hard to grasp.

Experts suggest that when ordering cashmere sweaters in cashmere knitted shops, we must make sure that the cashmere content is shown on the delivery list, and the manufacturers and models of cashmere thread.

Guess price analysis

How much does a cashmere sweater cost?

On the morning of January 18th, the reporter went to the provincial dyeing and dyeing industry association and took out two cashmere sweaters that had been prepared in advance, and asked President Wang Wensheng to identify them.

A piece of beige, a red, all have been cut off labels and price tag.

A expert guess price is nearly 1000 yuan lower than the actual price.

Guess the price link

Wang Wensheng first picked up one of the beige cashmere sweaters, put it in front of his nose and took a deep breath, then rubbed his shirt on his cheek.

Then he clutched the sleeves of his clothes and held them in his hands, clutching one song for many times, then lifting them up and carefully observing the sun.

"This dress is of good quality.

Soft, fluffy, elastic and gloss are very good. Only by intuition can we determine the cashmere content is very high.

"Wang Wensheng said after the on-site inspection, at the same time gave the psychological expected price: 700-800 yuan.

Let us know the answer.

This garment is a famous cashmere brand in China. This winter is the latest. The label is 100% cashmere, and the national price is 1695 yuan in the shopping mall.

The price given by the experts is nearly 1000 yuan lower than the market price. Why is this? Does the price difference of 1000 yuan affect the quality of the clothes? Wang Wensheng gave the answer.

In recent years, the cashmere sweater has been heated up more and more hot, its nominal price has long been deviated from the actual value, and the bigger the brand is, the more it is.

The price of cashmere sweater is mainly composed of four factors: material, brand, popularity and timeliness. Among them, brand value accounts for 60%-70% of the whole clothing price, and other factors are evenly divided into the remaining 30%-40%.

"

It can be seen that material factor is not the main reason that affects prices. The price difference of 1000 yuan will not lead to different quality. "Judging from the status and value of the brand in the domestic cashmere sweater market, as well as the brand psychological demand of buying the brand consumer, it is worth counting nearly 1000 yuan for this brand.

"

As for the brand name 100% cashmere, "in the past, except cashmere from Kashmir, other cashmere products were restricted by natural factors such as climate and geography, and their lengths and strength were relatively poor. They could only be spun into threads by adding regenerated cellulose fibers (i.e. artificial cashmere), and then weaved them.

In recent years, technology has been improved, and no cashmere sweater can be woven without artificial fibers.

According to the national cashmere technical standard, the cashmere content of pure cashmere must be over 95%, and the remaining fiber must be wool.

"

B 150 yuan sale, cashmere sweater is actually woolen sweater {page_break}

Guess the price link

The next test is a red cashmere sweater.

Wang Wensheng took a look at his clothes and said, "this piece is far away from that one. The wool content is very low, mainly wool.

According to the procedures of inspection, Wang Wensheng found a thread from his clothes and lit it with a lighter. "The more wool is wool, whether it contains velvet or not is determined by professional equipment.

"Look at workmanship, style, design and coloring, and finally Wang Wensheng's psychological price is 400 yuan.

Let us know the answer.

This cashmere sweater comes from a sale counter at a mid-range brand store, priced at 150 yuan.

The label is 92% cashmere and 8% silk.

"This dress is actually a woolen sweater.

However, the woolen sweater price is a measure of the price.

"Wang Wensheng said that wool and cashmere have almost the same warmth, but because cashmere is lighter, softer and better handle, people are much sought after, so that the price difference between wool and cashmere clothing is bigger and bigger.

This dress is not soft enough, and the price is so low that it should not contain velvet.

As for silk, the naked eye can not be judged unless a part of the clothing is tested with professional solvents.

Turning on the inside of the dress, Wang Wensheng suddenly said: the wool content should be below 70%! He pointed to the white line between the lines and told reporters: this line is definitely not cashmere or wool, not cotton or polyester thread.

It turned out that except for the top "Kashmir" cashmere, ordinary cashmere and all wool could not weave the tighten and fine lines of this white line. "The characteristics of the raw material will determine the textile process and result".

Wang Wensheng believes that if the businessman can accurately label the fabric of this dress, the dress can be regarded as cheap and fine, but unfortunately it is a counterfeit.

Experimental identification

The more expensive the line is, the more soluble it is.

In addition to cashmere garments, there is often a "slogan of selling cheap cashmere products at a low price" and "buying it now".

Custom cashmere sweaters are much cheaper than buying big brands in shopping malls, and they can also tailor their clothes to choose their favorite styles, patterns and colors.

But can the quality of these cashmere lines ranging from two to several hundred yuan guarantee quality? Wang Wensheng taught reporters a way to identify: from a small cut of cashmere thread, a few threads were drawn in the 84 disinfectant, and the higher the purity, the faster the dissolution of cashmere.

Reporters found the cashmere thread thread priced at 98 yuan / two, 148 yuan / two and 200 yuan / two respectively, and then prepared three beverage bottle caps, filled with 84 disinfectant in the bottle cap, followed by serial numbers.

From the 3 threads, a few lines of yarn were pulled into the bottle cap and stirred and observed with a toothpick.

1 minutes later, the wool in the cap of the 3 cap began to fade slightly; the wool in cap 2 was also changing, but not much; the wool in cap 1 remained unchanged.

5 minutes passed, and the experiment ended.

The color of the wool in cap 1 is lighter, but the volume is not significantly reduced. The color of the wool in the cover of 2 is all gone, and the volume is reduced to half of it. The wool in the 3 cover is semi pparent, with only a little residue left, less than the original 1/3 volume.

"What remains is artificial cashmere.

"Wang Wensheng introduced that the main ingredient of the 84 disinfectant is sodium hypochlorite, which is exactly the dissolving agent for cashmere and wool, but the artificial cashmere and wool do not dissolve in this solution. After about 5 minutes of soaking and stirring, the rest is made of artificial cashmere.

However, this test can only distinguish natural ingredients and man-made ingredients, and can not distinguish the natural cashmere and wool. "As an ordinary consumer, the best way to judge wool and cashmere is to feel the handle."

When skin contact, the smaller the stimulation and the more comfortable the feeling, the higher the cashmere content.

What is "Kashmir" Cashmere?

Cashmere is a rare special animal fiber. It is a valuable textile material. It is called "fiber diamond" and "soft gold" abroad.

Since the Kashmir region of Asia has historically been a distributing center for cashmere to Europe, it is customary to call cashmere as "Cashmere" in the world.

"Usually, every 100 goats here can be woven into a garment after being combed, and the quantity is very rare. So the real Kashmir cashmere sweater is not only very expensive, but also a person of great capacity can get such luxuries.

"Wang Wensheng told reporters that this cashmere sweater international price of more than 4000 U.S. dollars.

Cashmere is mainly produced in Inner Mongolia.

China's cashmere production accounts for 60% of the world's total output, and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region's output accounts for 60% of the country's total. It is mainly produced in Erdos City, Bayannaoer League, Alxa League, Xilinguole Meng and Chifeng. The cashmere products are long, soft, tensile and glossy.

Especially in the western region of Inner Mongolia, the best quality cashmere product is Cashmere, which is the best cashmere product in the western region of Italy. It was awarded the Chai Na villi Production Award in Italy in 1985.

What is the difference between cashmere and wool?

Ma Lamei, chief inspecting department of Shanxi Fiber Inspection Bureau, said that the length of cashmere fiber is only 30-40 millimeters, and the curl is small. It is like natural straight hair. It is difficult to twist the yarn. Because of the number of fiber knitted fabrics, cashmere sweater is not wear resistant, easy to damage, easy to pilling, and wear out in one or two years.

The utility model has the advantages of good thermal insulation, and can be worn as underwear.

But during the wearing process, the elbow, cuffs, collar and outer pockets are easily damaged and pilling.

It is suggested that consumers should not wear watches when wearing them. They should not wear keys, cellphones and other hard objects in their pockets. They also need frequent replacement and maintenance so that cashmere fibers can naturally recuperate for a period of time, which can extend the wearing time of cashmere sweaters.

The length of wool fiber is more than 70 centimeters, with large curl, like hot curly hair, good twist, easy to spin, and woolen sweater wearable. It can be worn for years.

Because its fiber diameter is thick, not soft, so the skin will feel itchy when wearing it. Even after being treated with softness, there will be a feeling of pricking after washing several times.

Artificial cashmere is soybean protein fiber.

Soybean protein fiber belongs to regenerated plant protein fiber.

It is extracted from soybean dregs extracted from grease. The fiber itself is mainly composed of protein, and it is a kind of easily biodegradable fiber.

This invention has become the first Chinese original technology in the history of man-made fiber in the world, and made China the only country in the world that can produce industrial textile soybean fiber.

The fiber has the advantages of luxurious appearance, good comfort, good dyeing property, good physical and mechanical properties, strong health care function, and has the advantages of many kinds of natural fibers.

It has the characteristics of single filament fineness, light weight, high strength and elongation, good acid and alkali resistance, good gloss, good moisture absorption and moisture conductivity, breathability and hygroscopic properties over cotton fiber and silk, and its thermal insulation is comparable to cashmere, and is known as "artificial cashmere".
