The fur trade recognises the importance of having the Origin Assured programme independently monitored.

Cotecna is one of the world’s leading trade inspection, security and certification companies. With its headquarters in Switzerland and a global network of offices, the company is completely independent and has over 30 years experience in the inspection industry.

Monitoring takes the form of an inspection of the invoice trail relating to each selected garment, from the retailer back to the auction house, via the full supply chain.

Consumers can be assured that the fur in garments or fur products that display an OA™ label are made from 100% OA™ fur.
