Recently, there has been concern over retailed products being labelled as ‘faux fur’, being made from real fur. Fur trims and pom poms on coats, hats and bags labelled as ‘100% polyester faux fur’ to be from raccoons and Angora rabbits.
Typically, the supply networks of leading brands and retailers comprise multiple tiers across numerous continents. Accordingly, the complexity of such supply chains directly contributes to difficulties in management and is further exacerbated by the vast networks of independent suppliers, manufacturers, and raw material sources across the leather sector.
Increasing the level of traceability and visibility in supply chains is important for all businesses. Many retailers and manufacturers in the leather industry have a supply chain spanning the globe. For the leather industry, a major area of concern is having full visibility of incoming materials in your supply chain.
