Many cashmere sweaters are actually sweaters
"Although it is also known as 'cashmere sweater', a large part of consumers wear is not a real 'cashmere sweater' because these so-called 'cashmere sweaters' do not contain cashmere ingredients at all." At the press conference of the China International Cashmere Sweater Trade Fair, Tian Hao, Director of the Animal Husbandry Department of the China Food, Animal and Livestock Import and Export Chamber of Commerce, pointed out the "truth" of the industry.
Tian Hao explained the reasons in terms of technology and market.
First, strictly speaking, sheep do not produce cashmere, cashmere can only come from a part of goats. Many of the so-called “cashmere sweaters†on the market today are actually wool, not cashmere. "Wool and cashmere are essentially different. From the physical structure, 'hair' and 'velvet' are not the same." Tian Wei said that from the aspects of comfort, warmth and other aspects, the quality of cashmere is much higher than wool.
Second, the vast majority of cashmere came from goats in cold regions, and the output was very limited. On a global scale, cashmere only has about 10,000 tons per year, of which 7,000 to 8,000 tons are in China, and production cannot be significantly increased due to various conditions. In this case, cashmere is actually scarce, so countless cashmere products on the market are not all pure cashmere, some of which are wool rather than cashmere, and some are different proportions of cashmere.
From the perspective of quality and scarcity, "cashmere is a luxury, really a luxury." Tian Hao said. According to Tian Hao, cashmere raw material prices have been operating at a high level this year, and the sales price of the end product of the market has not been adjusted accordingly. This poses a challenge to cashmere product manufacturers, which also puts pressure on the quality of cashmere products. .
It is understood that the China Chamber of Commerce for the Import and Export of Foodstuffs, Animals, and Livestock undertook the task of compiling the circulation industry standards of the “Technical Requirements for Classifying and grading Cashmere Products†of the Ministry of Commerce. The core content of this standard is to divide cashmere into gourmet products through technical indicators such as fiber length and diameter. Special grade, high quality, ordinary and economical grades are used to enhance the transparency and integrity of the cashmere terminal market, protect consumers’ right to know, and finally achieve the purpose of fostering and upgrading the cashmere consumer market. The forum will introduce the specific content of the industry to the industry and listen to industry responses. “Whether it is a cashmere sweater, a cashmere collar, or other cashmere products, we hope that consumers in the market will be able to recognize the quality of products at a glance.â€
