Given the upcoming start of the school year, the Ministry of Production (Produce) through the Technological Institute of Production (ITP) and its Centers for Productive Innovation and Technology Transfer (CITE) of the textile and leather footwear sectors of the Arequipa region, recommend choosing quality school clothes and shoes, prioritizing safety, comfort and durability for the benefit of students.
During a recent informative intervention, technical recommendations were provided aimed at parents and entrepreneurs in the sector, focused on the main criteria that should be considered when purchasing the aforementioned garments.
In the textile case, the need to evaluate the composition of the fabrics, their resistance to wear, color fastness and the quality of seams and finishes was highlighted. Likewise, it was recommended to opt for materials that allow adequate breathability and comfort during the academic day.
Regarding footwear, the importance of verifying the flexibility of the sole, the quality of the leather or material used, the firmness of the seams and the correct structure of the shoe was emphasized to ensure adequate support for the foot during the growth stage.
These recommendations not only seek to guide families in an informed purchase, but also promote quality standards in the regional industry, strengthening the competitiveness of micro, small and medium-sized companies in the textile and leather-footwear sectors.
Through the Camelidos Arequipa textile CITE and the CITEccal Arequipa, the ITP has become a strategic ally of entrepreneurs and businessmen in the region by providing them with technical assistance, training and technological transfer, contributing to the improvement of their production processes and the generation of greater added value.
