Haberdashery goods combine a huge range of consumer goods. Most often these are small items, without which existence is impossible today. By purpose, as well as manufacturing materials, all haberdashery goods are divided into: textiles, leather products, metal, perfumes and cosmetics. Below we consider in more detail each of these types of products.
Textile haberdashery
This type includes products made from textile yarn using torsion, knitting or weaving. All products are divided into subgroups. These are weaving products, wickerwork, threads, fabric, curtains, as well as umbrellas. Depending on the purpose, the threads are also divided into embroidery, darned, sewing and knitting. All of these haberdashery products have various production methods, as well as characteristics. For sewing use more durable threads on a synthetic basis. Knitting threads are most often made from natural materials. Cheaper, but no less popular is yarn, which is half composed of synthetics. Such threads do not sit and behave perfectly in the finished product. Their defects include various nodes, irregularities, hairiness.
On tape weaving machines produce products for various purposes. For the production of clothing, decorative and auxiliary tapes are used. There are also applied products and special-purpose tapes. They can be used for the manufacture of straps, bag handles, as well as fastenings for orders and medals. All weaving products can have a different composition. For the manufacture of clothing, products from natural materials are most often used. If it is necessary to use tapes of high strength, choose synthetic raw materials. Proper preparation for the sale of haberdashery goods is of considerable importance. Specialists check the products for defects, as well as reel the tape, which will be sold per meter.
Fabric and lace products
Many women prefer to make clothes for themselves and their loved ones on their own. It is for them that textile haberdashery goods are offered. These are various types of fabrics that can be used to make wardrobe items, as well as bedding and curtains. In specialized stores today you can find fabric for every taste and budget. More expensive is natural fiber textiles. These are wool, cotton and silk. Synthetic filament materials are also popular. They are used in the manufacture of outerwear.
Haberdashery goods are sold only after a quality check. The fabric is checked for defects. The specialist must measure the footage of the canvas and its width. It is also necessary to ensure that there are no creases, cuts, knots and uneven staining on the fabric. If any imperfections are found, they are marked with a marker. Only after removal of the defect can the material go on sale or in a fabric store.
Curtains and tulle products also belong to the group of haberdashery goods. They are a smooth mesh cloth that can be decorated with rhinestones or beads. Such products are made on
curtain and knitting machines. Tulle haberdashery goods may vary in composition. The classification includes curtains made of synthetic and natural fabrics. The most expensive are silk products. The less admixture of natural threads in the curtains or tulle, the lower the cost. The price of tulle may also depend on the method of decoration. The cheapest are smooth products. Curtains with flies and a printed pattern can be quite expensive. Also popular today are curtains-threads, which are made using tapes.
Leather goods
What applies to haberdashery goods of this kind? First of all, these are bags, wallets, gloves, belts and belts made of genuine leather or dermatin. All these products play not only an auxiliary, but also a decorative function. Most often, women pick up a bag not by spaciousness, but if possible wear it with a dress or shoes. Leather goods appeared a long time ago. For example, bags were used by people in ancient times. But then this product was only functional in nature. Pieces of skin were tied with a cord and used to move weights over long distances.
Belts also began to be used even when normal clothes were out of the question. In those days, the accessory served as protection against evil spirits. Today, a belt is a device that helps keep pants or a skirt in place. Also, the product is often used just for beauty, picking it by color for shoes or a tie in order to look beautiful in the photo. Haberdashery leather or leatherette products today help emphasize status. They give a person solidity.
Leather gloves and mittens are also haberdashery goods used by our ancient ancestors. Today, these products are used to maintain the temperature regime on the street. Previously, leather gloves were used as an auxiliary accessory for sectioning and roasting on animals. It is known that genuine leather does not burn. Today, this property is used to test the quality of genuine leather products. The rules for the sale of haberdashery goods made from natural materials do not prohibit checking their quality. If the bag or wallet is really made of leather, the seller will not forbid the buyer to carry a cigarette lighter on the product.
Materials used for the manufacture of leather goods
All materials that are used in the manufacture of gloves, bags, purses and belts are divided into main and auxiliary. Genuine leather or its synthetic substitute is the basis of any product. Of great importance is the correct finish of the material. It is known that genuine leather can cause severe shrinkage when wet. Does this mean that gloves will change size after being exposed to rain? If the material has been processed correctly, trouble will not happen. Good moisture resistance to natural skin gives aniline finish. Do not be surprised if gloves made of genuine leather from different manufacturers have different prices. It is better to give preference to more expensive products. They will be able to serve much longer. Quality leather gloves are usually labeled accordingly.
The quality requirements for haberdashery leather goods and substitutes can be quite high. Experts check products for toxicity. The goods are in direct contact with the skin of the hands. Therefore, gloves and belts should be hypoallergenic. Products that have a certificate of conformity are allowed for sale.
You should not buy goods that are related to leather goods in natural markets. The price here, of course, can be much lower. But quality cannot be verified in any way. An ordinary bag or wallet can cause a serious allergic reaction.
Auxiliary materials in the manufacture of leather goods include lining fabrics, as well as natural and artificial furs. In addition, durable threads are used to fasten individual parts of the product. In addition, glue may be used to make some products. Various rivets, buttons, zippers, and also decorative elements act as accessories.
Metal haberdashery
This type of product means a huge range of products that are made from ferrous, non-ferrous and mixed metals. Most often these are carbon steel products mixed with nickel or chromium. Metal haberdashery goods are items for sewing, jewelry, clothing accessories, hair care products, as well as household goods. Sewing and needlework products include needles of various diameters, knitting needles and crochet hooks, embroidery hoops, and thimbles. Needles, in turn, are divided into manual and machine.
Clothing metal haberdashery includes zippers, loops, hooks, buttons, buttons. Buttons and buttons are available in eight sizes, which are measured by the outer diameter. Hardware is given special attention. Defects in haberdashery goods can lead to poor-quality clothing. Therefore, buttons, buttons and zippers that have irregularities, barbs or uneven coloring do not go on sale. The same rule applies to
sewing accessories (needles and scissors). If a person purchased goods related to metal haberdashery, but only at home noticed a defect, he has the right to return it within 14 days from the date of purchase.
Without metal products, it is also impossible to imagine an everyday toilet. What concerns haberdashery goods? These are various cufflinks, hair clips, hairpins, pins, curlers and brooches. The haberdashery products also include manicure sets - scissors, nail files, tongs, spatulas. Most often, these items are made of aluminum, brass, cupronickel. Rarely on sale can be found goods made of gold and silver. Such products are expensive, therefore, are not popular.
Hair care products
Metal haberdashery for hair care is very diverse. This is not only combs, but also numerous scissors and clippers, hair clips, rubber bands with metal parts, curlers and hairpins. The quality of these products is high. The product must be made of non-toxic metal. The certificate of conformity is issued only after a thorough check.
Attention is paid to the appearance of the product. This is especially true for jewelry. Hairpins and hairpins should not have sharp ends so as not to damage the delicate scalp. Auxiliary materials (fabric, fur, lace, plastic, glue) are also tested for toxicity.
The surface of the product must be polished. There should be no nicks, scratches, or signs of corrosion. In production, products intended for hair care are coated with a special coating to prevent rust. Experts take into account the fact that products often come in contact with wet hair.
Perfumery
Perfumery haberdashery goods are common. Their classification is quite extensive. Perfumes include products such as eau de toilette, perfumes, cologne, sets, the main purpose of which is to flavor the body or clothes. This type of haberdashery goods has special requirements. First of all, the fact that perfumes are most often applied directly to the skin is taken into account. Therefore, perfumes, eau de toilette and sprays should be made from high-quality raw materials according to a previously prepared recipe. Perfume is a homogeneous liquid of a transparent consistency. A small precipitate can occur only at temperatures below 5 degrees Celsius. If this precipitate does not disappear in a warm room, then the product is not of high quality.
The color and smell of the perfume product must fully comply with the control samples. For each group of products a certain odor resistance is established. The most long held spirits and colognes. Eau de toilette and perfume sprays quickly disappear. The cost of the latest products will be much lower.
Particular attention is also paid to the label. The haberdashery goods have to be beautifully issued. Commodity science reports that the bottle with perfume water should have a label with a uniform color, without smudges of glue. On the packaging, most often full information is provided about the manufacturer, as well as about the composition of the goods. The expiration date of the products must be indicated.
Perfumery products go on sale in glass bottles. It should not contain defects that could affect the integrity of the product or its appearance. The bottle should go to the store without punctures and cracks. If defects are found, the products are returned to the supplier. Bottles should be filled with liquid “on shoulders”. If the packaging is even, the air gap should be at least 5%. This will be enough to avoid rupture of the vial with increasing temperature.
Labeling requirements
A colorful label is always glued to the bottle with perfume or toilet water, which contains the name of the product, full information about the manufacturer, the trademark, as well as the storage conditions of the product. In addition, the date of manufacture, the group to which the goods belong, and the estimated retail price must be indicated . This avoids speculation. Lack of estimated value on the label may indicate a fake. The name of the product, as well as its volume in milliliters, is usually pasted on the front side. Other information may be indicated on the opposite side of the vial.
Perfumes can be packaged in ceramic or glass bottles. From experience, we can say that preference is given to transparent containers made of glass. The consumer always wants to see the goods he purchases. It is not possible to check the quality of perfumes (sediment) in porcelain bottles.
Perfumed sprays can be produced in aluminum containers with a dispenser. These products are intended for use on top of clothing. Therefore, the requirements for their quality are much lower. Despite this, the packaging should contain all the information listed above.
Cosmetics
The assortment of haberdashery goods of this group includes various products with an outlet that are used to decorate the body and care for it. Allocate special and decorative cosmetics. Special ones include shampoos, creams, pastes, talc. Decorative cosmetics are most often products for women (lipsticks, mascaras and eyebrows, pencils, glitters, shadows).
Medical and hygienic cosmetics today are very popular. This is due to the lack of age and gender restrictions. Creams, toothpastes, shower gels and shampoos are used not only by women, but also by men and children. There are special requirements for goods for babies. They must be made from natural raw materials with a normal pH level. In case of contact with eyes, soap or shampoo for children should not cause pain.
All cosmetic products are directly applied to the skin. Therefore, products that have not passed the appropriate inspection are not allowed on sale. Makeup should not cause skin irritation and allergic reactions. An exception may be consumers with sensitive skin. For them, specialized cosmetics are on sale, which you can most often find in a pharmacy.
Labeling of beauty products
Cosmetic haberdashery products must be properly packaged. Classification and assortment do not play a big role here. Regardless of which subgroup the product belongs to, the following data should be indicated on it: name, manufacturer, production date, composition. Marking is carried out in accordance with the requirements of GOST R 51391-99.
Packaging should be made in such a way as to protect the product from the negative effects of moisture and sunlight. Most often, cosmetics goes on sale in metal or plastic containers. Packaging is checked for punctures and cracks. If any defects are found, the goods can be returned to the supplier.
