, “Musinsa and KATRI Testing and Research Institute recently signed a ‘Product Quality Enhancement Agreement for a Healthy Fashion Ecosystem’ at the institute’s headquarters in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul. Established in 1965, KATRI is an internationally accredited testing and certification body that conducts tests in various fields, including textiles, materials, and chemicals.”,
,
, ‘Lately, some fashion brands have been falsely describing the fiber composition of materials such as down and cashmere. Musinsa stated that it established this agreement with KATRI to support its brands in providing accurate product information to customers. This initiative is expected to aid SMEs and emerging brands, which may lack personnel and experience, in understanding the importance of clothing testing and analysis, thus boosting their external credibility.’,
,
, ‘Under this agreement, brands listed on Musinsa and 29CM can request these tests from KATRI for their products and receive the results. Additionally, they will be guided on how to correctly disclose product information through regular education and seminars for brands.’,
,
, ‘A Musinsa representative stated, “We will continue to contribute to a healthy fashion ecosystem by not limiting the duties and responsibilities of the platform, for the benefit of both our customers and brands.”‘,
