The same cashmere sweater, the price 10 times the difference

The following investigations were conducted on the uneven prices of cashmere sweaters throughout the mall.

Both are called "cashmere sweaters" and the price difference is more than ten times.

"I said, 200 yuan a cashmere sweater, there will not be such a cheap thing to fall on their own head." These two days, Ms. Zhou finally figured out, some time ago he bought from the Tongxiang market cashmere sweater It is a counterfeit product.

At the end of last month, Ms. Zhou went to Tongxiang with her friends and went to the Tongxiang sweater market. A shop owner sells her cashmere sweater to Ms. Zhou. "He said that there are a few proofs of cashmere sweaters left in the store. They are processed cheaply and are worth 200 yuan. It is definitely worthwhile to bring them back as long as they fit together."

Ms. Zhou chose one of her own and was happy to buy it home. After a day or two, she found the brand's cashmere sweaters in the shopping malls in Hangzhou for several thousand dollars.

"The brand's cashmere sweater, the label on the 100% cashmere composition, the price is three or four thousand dollars, is to fight the cashmere sweater is also about 2,000 yuan. I own this no label, do not know how much content." In addition to the price drop Ms. Zhou also noticed the difference in her feel. “The feel is not the same. The one I bought was smoother. The cashmere sweater in the mall is very soft.”

After discovering the problem, Ms. Zhou went shopping to see cashmere sweaters and paid attention to checking the content of cashmere on the labels. "Some content is 100%, some 30%. There are also some cashmere sweaters sold in online stores. Although the price of 100% of the price of cashmere labels is only 88 yuan. I really don't understand."

Cashmere and cashmere bosses have the final say

As soon as winter arrives, consumers like to spend money to buy cashmere sweaters in cashmere stores. The reporter noted that the prices of cashmere yarns were uneven.

The reporter went to a cashmere shop located in the north of the Silk Clothing City. The door of the store was hung with cashmere sweaters of various styles. There were also a few varieties of cashmere in the store. The reporter learned from the boss that the most expensive cashmere thread in this shop is 750 yuan/kg, but these cashmere threads are not packed in boxes but wound into tower lines. From the tower line, the reporter did not find the trademark of the cashmere thread and the wool content. The quality was based on the introduction of the boss. There is another cashmere line on the label. The cashmere thread content is 96%, the price is 450 yuan / kg, and the best cashmere thread price 300 yuan.

The reporter then went to another cashmere sweater shop on Fengqi Road. Various types of cashmere sweaters were sampled in the shop, but cashmere yarns could not be seen. The proprietress said that there are several kinds of cashmere threads in the store, all of which are brands. Just select the style and price of the yarn, and then pick up the clothes one month later. "The quality of cashmere is not the same as the amount of cashmere, I here is 650 yuan / kg is 80% of cashmere; 1200 yuan / kg is imported, 100% cashmere content; 1800 yuan / kg of cashmere is also 100%, but one step higher than the import."

The proprietress said that the more expensive the cashmere thread, the thinner the woven cashmere sweater. "I cashmere sweaters with 1800 yuan / kg cashmere out of the cashmere sweater with the mall to sell three or four thousand cashmere sweater is the same."

For the above investigations, industry personnel conducted related information.

A pure cashmere sweater costs at least 400 yuan

A cashmere sweater in the end price geometry? In order to clarify this issue, the reporter found a surnamed Chen surnamed Tongxiang who specializes in cashmere sweaters. He told reporters that the raw material yarn for weaving cashmere sweaters is mainly composed of cashmere. The price depends on the cashmere content and quality. Cashmere staple fibers and staple fibers. The best cashmere is more than 110 million yuan for a ton, and 91-92 thousand yuan / ton for a handicap.

For the ultra-low-cost cashmere sweaters available on the market, it is unlikely that the owner of Chen thinks it is genuine. "Real cashmere is made up of a 250-gram men's Jacket. With cashmere at a price of 1 million yuan per ton, optical yarn money will cost 250 yuan, plus 100 yuan for workmanship, and at least 350 yuan." According to the general pricing practice of the local factory in Tongxiang, the owner of Chen used the cost of yarn plus factory losses, electricity bills, labor, etc. The cost of a cashmere sweater was between 380 and 400 yuan, and the ex-factory price was between 480 and 500 yuan.

Chen boss said that there are cashmere sweaters on the market, the price is higher than ordinary cashmere sweaters. "If a worsted cashmere sweater is 300 grams and uses the highest specification of 1.12 million yuan per ton of cashmere, the yarn money will be 330 yuan. Some will also need to add to the expense incurred in the textile process. 500 yuan to 680 yuan. The ex-factory price is generally more than 600 yuan."

"It's absolutely impossible to buy a cashmere sweater for 200 yuan." Chen boss told reporters that the cost of yarn, the price is too low, cashmere sweater, the cashmere content should be questioned.

Blended yarn, imitation wool yarn

Consumers buy yarn-knit cashmere sweaters themselves, but many people know little about yarn.

"At present, pure cashmere is about one ton for one million yuan, and the most expensive one is 1.12 million yuan." According to Chen's boss, there are two other yarns on the market, and consumers are easily confused.

A kind of wool and cashmere is made of wool through a 'breaking' process, and the price is only 40,000 to 450,000 yuan/ton. The other is called imitation wool, the main ingredient is chemical fiber, containing 7-8% of the wool component, the price as long as 50,000 yuan a ton. Buying clothes made from these two kinds of yarns is easy to mistakenly think it is a pure cashmere sweater.

In general, cashmere products can be divided into pure cashmere and cashmere. The cashmere content of pure cashmere products is more than 95%, and the cashmere content of cashmere products is more than 30%. The cashmere products less than 30% can not be called cashmere products. Mr. Chen said, “We call cashmere yarn, cashmere content between 98-99.9%, and other 1-2% of other ingredients. More than 95% of the amount can be called cashmere. There are cashmere and wool three or seven open (cashmere content 30%, 70% wool content, should be called blended products."

A shop in Erdos, Hangzhou, a counter sales staff told reporters that they counter 100% cashmere is a cashmere sweater, and 30% content is not called cashmere sweater, called cashmere blend. When consumers buy, they will explain to the customer. The prices of the two are also very different.

In summary, the following recommendations are given.

When there is no ingredient label, it can be calculated at 1.5 yuan/g

The content of cashmere sweaters on the market is different. How should the public distinguish between pure cashmere sweaters? The reporter consulted experts from the Textile Testing and Testing Institute of Zhejiang Province and the Textile Testing Laboratory of the Silk Inspection Center of the Zhejiang Inspection and Quarantine Bureau.

Experts from the Zhejiang Textile Testing and Research Institute stated that consumers can look at the labeling of components on the washing label. The label is marked with “cashmere” or “cashmere”, indicating cashmere. For example, “sheep cashmere” indicates that there is no cashmere, and it is wool. . The label “pure cashmere, pure cashmere, 100% cashmere, 100% cashmere” is a pure cashmere sweater. At the same time look at the implementation of the product standards (product standards), such as the implementation of the standard FZ/T73009-2009 suitable for cashmere content of more than 30% of cashmere sweater, such as the implementation of the standard for FZ/T73018-2002 is generally sweater.

There are cashmere products on the market that contain more than 30% cashmere, you can check the surface of the cashmere sweater pile, try feel, feel soft, easy to play ball, surface suede rich and small pile diameter, cashmere is a feature, especially Pure cashmere. You can check whether the pile is more rough hair. If there are more rough hair, you can definitely not pure cashmere.

Consumers have reported that some cashmere sweaters in the stores and cashmere sweaters in the market do not carry out standards and ingredient content labels. What should I do at this time? Expert Weapon: Look at the price. “The price of pure cashmere sweaters is generally 1.5 yuan/g or more, and its price is converted according to weight. If there is too much disparity, buy it with caution.”

According to experts, cashmere sweaters, especially pure cashmere sweaters, are washed by hand under normal temperature and water temperature, and the size will not decrease and may increase.

High cost of disfiguring clothing inspection rights

According to Pan Yi, director of the Spinning Inspection Laboratory of the Silk Inspection Center of Zhejiang Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, cashmere refers to fine fluff that is cut on goats, and wool refers to hair that is cut on sheep. To identify cashmere and wool, it is difficult for the average consumer to rely solely on experience such as hand touch.

If consumers suspect that the cashmere sweater they bought is fake, they can go to a professional testing agency to check the fiber content. The detection method is generally to manually observe the longitudinal scale structure and diameter of wool cashmere fiber under a 500-fold fiberscope.

The reporter inquired, monitoring cashmere sweater prices are still relatively high. The inspection fee for two components (including two components) within the Zhejiang Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau is 300 yuan, more than two components, and an additional 100 yuan for each additional item. Consumers are required to provide a sample of clothes that is 30 cm by 30 cm in size. The Zhejiang Textile Testing and Research Institute requires 430 yuan for the detection of cashmere components and 200 yuan for cashmere-free ingredients. In view of this, if you want to defend your rights against fake cashmere sweaters, the threshold is still somewhat high.

Not long ago, there were reports that "the cashmere sweaters in the market are basically false." Experts said in an interview that this statement is too arbitrary. “Many of the cashmere products that we have been commissioned to monitor are qualified. Generally, the cashmere sweaters sold in big shopping malls are all China's cashmere sweater brand manufacturers. Their cashmere components are more consistent.”
