In the garment industry, whether you are a manufacturer, importer, or brand, you must understand the importance of quality control in this business. This industry shifts swiftly, and any time lost in shipment or defect fixings can lead to unimaginable losses. Moreover, quality issues can quickly disseminate in the digital age, giving competitors an advantage. Therefore, quality control is essential, and quality inspection is the most commonly used method. In this post, we will guide you through the steps of a garment quality inspection, the key checkpoints to focus on, and how can C&Z expertise support your garment quality control.
The Costume Normand, a symbol of Normandy's cultural heritage, features distinctive coiffes (lace headdresses), striped bourgoin fabrics, and embroidered indienne prints. For brands preserving this legacy, uncompromising quality is essential. At C&Z, we specialize in comprehensive Norman costume inspections, ensuring every piece meets NF EN ISO standards while honoring artisanal traditions.
Authentic Norman attire requires precise lacework, colorfast fabrics, and reinforced seams for festivals like Fêtes Normandes. Flaws like frayed dentelle (lace), bleeding rouennerie stripes, or weak bretelle (suspenders) compromise cultural value. Our inspections cover:
Testing toile de Rouen for shrinkage, breathability, and weave density
Verifying point d'Alençon stitching and coiffe structural durability
Ensuring traditional apple/blossom patterns resist fading
Stress-testing agrafes normandes (regional clasps) and apron ties
Certifying REACH-compliant dyes and OEKO-TEX® linings
Validate indienne print alignment and fabric certifications
Monitor dentelle needlework density and tension
Real-time scrutiny of jupe (skirt) pleating and corsage attachment
AQL-based inspections per NF G07-150 standards
Colorfastness to cider/vinegar (cultural exposure), pilling, pH
With expertise in French AOC textile regulations and Norman craftsmanship, C&Z guarantees costumes that balance heritage with commercial durability. Our certifications empower global brands to deliver authentic French regional attire.
