Look At The Appearance Quality Of Clothing Products

To buy a brand with relatively discounted price in Shanghai

Many people first think of the "outlets" shopping malls distributed in many districts and counties.

Miss Yang is a frequent visitor to the public. According to her purchase experience, she thinks that the price of the clothes in the outlets is more cost-effective and the quality is good.

However, the recent results of the sampling survey conducted by the Shanghai industrial and commercial bureau on the garments of 7 "outlets" in the city are very surprising. The results of the random sampling show that only 110 out of the 110 samples tested, the detection rate of the unqualified goods is 25.5%.

Shanghai city commerce and Industry Bureau reminds consumers not to blindly follow suit and rely too much on empiricism while buying clothing products, but rather to "touch them".

Sampling 110 garments

28 pieces of disqualification

In recent years, it has been called "

"Outlets" has been booming rapidly in the first and second tier cities and economically developed cities in the country. Its relatively good discount price has been welcomed by many specific consumers.

"Orlet" is a Chinese literal plation of Outlets in English. In retail business, it refers to a shopping center consisting of stores selling famous brand over the season, shelves and yards, so it is also known as "brand direct shopping center".

At the earliest, the outlets were specially designed to deal with the factory's tail cargo, and gradually formed a large shopping mall similar to ShoppingMall, and gradually developed into an independent retail format.

According to incomplete statistics, there are about more than 200 stores in the country that are named after orlies or the main concept of outlets.

A comprehensive survey of the outlets in China, with the largest scale in Beijing and Shanghai, is relatively mature in Shanghai, with strong consumption capacity and high brand awareness.

However, analysis shows that orter's entry into China is only 10 years old, and there are still many immaturity.

A lot of China's "outlets" shopping malls as a concept of speculation, rather than concerned about the development of Oteri J's own construction, so that the quality of products is good and bad, consumers' legitimate rights and interests are infringed on the situation from time to time.

In order to comprehensively analyze the quality of clothing products in Shanghai outlets and protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, in December 2015, the Shanghai Municipal Industrial and commercial department commissioned a third party inspection institution to conduct spot checks on the clothing products sold by outlets in the circulation area of the city. A total of 110 clothing products were sampled among them, and the results showed that the qualified products were still less than 3/4.

It is understood that the commodities tested mainly include single clip clothing, washing and finishing clothing, T-Shirts, shirts, denim clothing, dress, knitted casual wear, windbreaker, wool knitwear, cotton clothing,

And other clothes.

The sampling results showed that 82 garments were qualified, 28 garments were not qualified, and the detection rate of substandard products was 25.5%, of which 3 clothing items belonged to serious disqualification.

City stores were detected

The most unqualified goods

According to the industry and Commerce Department, the 110 clothing products of the 75 brands sampled were all from 7 stores in the city named orter or the main concept of the outlets.

They are: Florence town Outlets in Pudong New Area; Qingpu Oteri J, MIG heaven and earth in Qingpu district; Yangpu District green Milan OTR les, times City outlets; Xuhui District Tai Tai rice of Xuhui District; Changning District city Oteri J (Changning shop).

Among them, the detection rate of unqualified goods in Pudong New Area was 5.3%, 23.3% in Qingpu District, 30.4% in Yangpu District, 33.3% in Xuhui District, and the highest rate of unqualified goods in Changning District was 57.1%.

According to the survey report, the sampling and inspection items mainly include product identification, fiber content, formaldehyde content, pH value, color fastness (water resistance, sweat resistance, friction resistance, washing and light resistance), odor, decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes and feather down items.

These spot checks are mainly national mandatory standards and projects in recommended standards.

Reporters noted that the sampling price of clothing products ranging from 198 yuan to 4380 yuan.

Among them, the total number of clothing commodities extracted from the 0-1000 yuan price segment was 40, the unqualified clothing accounted for 10, the unqualified goods detection rate was 25%, the 1001-2000 yuan price segment of clothing goods 40, the unqualified clothing accounted for 11, the unqualified goods detection rate 27.5%, the 2001-5000 yuan price segment of clothing merchandise 30, the unqualified clothing accounted for 7, and the unqualified goods detection rate was 7.

It can be seen that there is no correlation between clothing price and quality.

"Unqualified" products

Focus on four indicators.

The sampling results showed that 28 of the products tested were disqualified in four aspects: fiber content, color fastness, usage instructions and feather down items. The total number of unqualified products was 53 items, and some products had many unqualified indexes.

1 fiber content is "unworthy of name".

The fiber content directly determines the quality of the material of a garment. The fiber content of the goods is not qualified as 20 times, accounting for 37.7% of the total unqualified items, which are mainly reflected in the leaking, disordered standard, fiber content and indication, and non standard fiber name labeling.

Industry and Commerce Department staff pointed out that fiber composition and content is the main quality index of textile products, and is also the main content of genuine goods.

Fiber composition is inconsistent with the label. In essence, it is misleading consumers and damaging the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

The main reason for the failure is probably the unauthorized identification of enterprises or the shoddy business of individual enterprises.

At the same time, there is also a case that the label of fiber names is not standardized. The reason may be that it is not clear enough about the standard requirements for labeling fiber content, and lack of mastery of professional knowledge.

2 low color fastness.

Poor color fastness is a relatively easy problem in textiles. In this sample of garments, 19 items of color fastness are not qualified, and the proportion of unqualified products is 35.9%. This is mainly reflected in the stipulation that color is beyond the mandatory standard and / or product standard.

According to the introduction, color fastness is mainly due to the fastness of dyes attached to fibers, especially water, friction, sweat and light. Otherwise, the dye will fall off and pfer to the skin during the wearing process, which will harm the human body or stain the light colored clothes, which will affect the consumers' health and beauty.

The main reason for this problem is that garment enterprises fail to inspect fabrics before they are put into production. The raw materials purchased are not used to check the contents according to the requirements of clothing standards. Therefore, as enterprises, they must be tested according to the product standards, and the fabric can be put into operation before reaching the standard.

3 product instructions are "not standardized".

Many consumers do not see the habit of using instructions when purchasing clothing products. They do not know that knowledgeable people can identify the authenticity or authenticity of a product with a glance at the product instructions.

Product user instructions are information tools that convey to consumers how to use consumer goods correctly and safely.

In the sampling products of the outlets, 7 substandard instructions were used, accounting for 13.2% of the unqualified percentage, which is mainly reflected in the unstandard use instructions.

The product instructions are not standard or inconsistent. The main reason is that the manufacturing enterprises have a weak sense of standard requirements. They do not have a clear grasp of the requirements of the fourth part of the national mandatory standard GB5296.4-2012, the instructions for the use of textiles and clothing.

4 fill down the down coat.

In the winter season, down jacket becomes the necessary clothing for citizens to go out.

City Industrial and Commercial Bureau sampling inspection shows that the percentage of the down sale items of the outlets is 13.2%, which is mainly reflected in the requirement that the testing items of the down quality can not meet the requirements of the product standard, and even some "down jacket" fillers are actually crushed wool, which can not be called feather clothing at all.

According to the analysis, the test of feather, cashmere, filling, fluffiness, cleanliness and oxygen consumption is the core item for evaluating the quality of down.

Through testing, we can be able to distinguish whether the down garments can reach the indicated level and quality.

The main reason why the down item is not qualified is that the production enterprises do not actively check and carry out quality control before the mass production.

Tips for consumption

How can we choose the right clothes to wear correctly? The professionals remind consumers to pay attention to the following aspects when choosing clothing items:

Pay attention to the product instructions (product identification).

For the tag, pay attention to the unit or address of the producer or seller first, because the label of the unit and address indicates the meaning of the product quality. The consumer keeps the tag as long as possible during the use of the garment. If the product is defective during the purchase or use, the producer or seller will be liable for compensation.

Secondly, to see the quality level of the product, the quality of the general clothing product is divided into top quality, first grade and qualified products.

For sewing marks on clothing products, we should pay attention to three points: size specification, clothing composition, washing method information.

Look at the appearance quality of clothing products

Consumers can mainly observe the fabric feel, fabric defects, color difference, stains, sewing, zippers and buttons.

In particular, high value silk, plush, leather and other clothing should be scrutinized carefully.

Proper use and maintenance of clothing

Correctly wearing and maintaining clothing is one of the key factors for durable wear.

For some expensive silk, woolen garments and plush garments, they must be kept clean, keep dry, prevent moth eaten, protect clothing, and carefully wear and maintain.
