Material Verification


At True Ecuador, ensuring the authenticity of alpaca products is at the core of our commitment to quality. We employ a rigorous verification process, specifically focusing on the materials used in the creation of each product. Here's a detailed insight into how True Ecuador verifies the materials:

  1. Supplier Submission: Our process begins with suppliers submitting various product samples for testing. This ensures that a representative selection from each batch is thoroughly examined.

  2. Laboratory Testing: True Ecuador collaborates with accredited laboratories to conduct comprehensive tests on the submitted samples. The testing process involves sophisticated techniques to analyze the composition of the material, providing accurate and detailed results.

  3. Micrometer Analysis: We utilize micrometers to measure the diameter of individual fibers in the material. Authentic alpaca wool has a distinct diameter range, allowing us to identify and differentiate it from other fibers. This meticulous analysis helps maintain the high standards of True Ecuador Certification.

  4. Animal Origin Verification: True Ecuador is committed to promoting transparency in the sourcing of materials. We verify the animal origin of the fibers used in the products, ensuring they are derived from genuine alpacas. This step is crucial to guaranteeing the ethical and sustainable practices that align with our values.

  5. Content Percentage Evaluation: Our certification process involves determining the precise percentage of alpaca content in the product. True Ecuador sets specific criteria for the minimum alpaca content required to qualify for certification, ensuring that our certified products genuinely showcase the luxurious properties of alpaca wool.

By implementing these stringent measures, True Ecuador goes beyond surface-level verification, delving into the intricate details of material composition. This commitment to thorough testing and analysis ensures that only products meeting our high standards receive the coveted True Ecuador Certification. Consumers can trust that when they choose a product with our certification, they are embracing the true essence of Ecuadorian alpaca craftsmanship.
