Have you heard of CCMI? 
Distinguished faces are the world cup of the cashmere spinning industry

 

I know that UTO is a company that takes great care in making each and every piece, but what is the grade of the cashmere it uses? I am sometimes asked, “What is the grade of the cashmere used in our products? It is difficult to explain because I don't know what kind of basic knowledge you have, but most people agree with me when I explain it as follows.

 

There is a worldwide association called CCMI, (Cashmere & Camelhair Manufacturers Institute) that spins high quality yarns. The number of companies is less than 20, but they are eminent members.
To give a brief introduction, Italy is represented by Loro Piana, which is said to be the world's number one textile manufacturer. Zegna supplies yarns to famous brands, and Cagliacci is a very famous cashmere company. Dawson of England is the parent company of Ballantine and Pringle. In a nutshell, it is a group of world-class spinning companies that produce cashmere and other high quality yarns of the finest quality.
Japan is represented by two companies, Toyobo Yarn Industry and Fukaki Wool Weaving. UTO's cashmere is made from Toyobo and Fukaki yarns.
 
If you are using the same world-class raw materials, you can be sure that your cashmere will be made of the best quality. If they use the same world-class raw materials, why does UTO have such a cute price while famous brands cost tens of thousands of yen? If someone said that to me, I wouldn't have a word to say. If you ask me that, I have nothing to say.... We are proud of the fact that we use the world's best raw materials and carefully make our products by Japanese hands, which is absolutely unbeatable by European brands. I think the biggest difference is that UTО has a short distribution system, as we plan, manufacture, and sell our own products.
CCMI is keeping a close watch on the market, saying, “No cheating will be tolerated.
CCMI became known because of the cashmere blend issue. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) issued a cease and desist order against cashmere blends labeled as 100% cashmere at department stores and famous boutiques because the blends were found to be different from the actual blends after an investigation by a public agency.
  
Cashmere is an expensive material that is easily targeted by unscrupulous traders. Even if your business partner is trustworthy, if he or she is cheated, everyone may become a victim or a perpetrator. Therefore, it is most important to do business with a trustworthy partner with a clear background from the raw wool to the finished product.
