In South Korea, several brands have been found to misrepresent the composition of materials like cashmere and down in their products, highlighting the need for regulatory improvements. The complexity of the fashion supply chain, from fabric suppliers to manufacturers and retailers, has left gaps in quality control. Currently, quality checks are voluntary and are usually conducted on fabrics before the manufacturing process, allowing discrepancies to pass unnoticed if not inspected later. Major retailers have responded by halting sales of products from problematic brands. The issue stresses the importance of stricter guidelines and mandatory performance certificates for consumer trust and product transparency.
