Zeemrahfernandez on TikTok posted a video showcasing the object which was usually attached to one of the clothes in her bales.

Her confusion was evident as she displayed the item’s recurring presence in multiple bales.

While sharing the video, she expressed her confusion and frustration as she tried to uncover the use of the item.

In her words:

“Anytime I want to open bales, I always see something like this in every cloth. It is not the first time, not the second time, not the third time, not the fourth time. See it.

“I don’t know what it is for but I know it is always attached to a cloth. I don’t know what this thing means. See it again. What’s the meaning of this? What’s this?”

TikTok users offered diverse explanations, with some stating that it was placed for security reasons.

@Mizzdee said:

“It’s a cloth tag to prevent theft but can be remove by using magnet.”

@Izzydon commented:

“That’s the security from the store that sells the cloths, when you pay they suppose to remove it if not na stealing the person did in the shop, it’s always on the cloths and shoes in Europe.”

@Fabio stated:

“It is a tag that is always on cloth here in Europe, incase someone steal it the alarm at the entrance will sound.”

@IRAWO OBA said:

“It means the cloth was picked from a store without paying for it. There’s another white metallic device to remove that thing once you pay at the cashier desk.”

“Alarm tag for theft control. It triggers a sound at the door when someone is leaving a store with items not paid for.”

@ewatomi_17 added:

“They are cloth tags for clothes, if the mall or shops have theft dictector it will raise alarm at the door signifying that someone is about to leave the shop or store with a cloth.”
