Rare and luxurious ESCORIAL have partnered with FibreTrace® to provide verified and audited, real-time traceability on their patented ESCORIAL fibre.

The partnership enables spinner-to-garment traceability to overcome industry challenges of wool fibres being blended at market to achieve volume, providing the coveted anti-counterfeiting solution.

In collaboration with Suedwolle Group, the ESCORIAL fibre is marked with our patent FibreTrace® pigment at spinning for real-time verification throughout the global supply chain.

The spun yarn is connected to authenticated ESCORIAL wool production certificates to take you right back to the woolgrower.

"Sustainability has been at the forefront of ESCORIAL since day one, the limited number of ESCORIAL flocks with hand selection of fleeces provide a traceable to origin guarantee,’ says Peter Radford Founder and CEO of The ESCORIAL Company.

“The beauty of ESCORIAL is the fibre, which has a natural spring-like shape, allows for the creation of extraordinary garments with distinctive quality and performance. This provides the wearer with both greater comfort and confidence." 

ESCORIAL’s traceability journey begins at the spinning process by applying a FibreTrace® sliver fibre to create a traceable ESCORIAL yarn. Full digital and physical traceability is achieved by connecting the traceable yarn to the digital chain of custody through test certificates and purchase records.

The wool is audited at every point of the supply chain via a FibreTrace® Bluetooth handheld scanner to identify and verify the potency of the ESCORIAL wool signature.

Verified, authenticated and traceable ESCORIAL will be available in February 2022.
