FAQ on ALL CASHMERE

What is cashmere made of?

Pure Cashmere Vest100% Cashmere Dress

Discover the allure of cashmere, a natural fibre sourced from the undercoat of cashmere goats. Native to the high altitudes of Inner Mongolia in North China, these goats grow a thick, warm coat to brave the harsh winters. And from this coat comes cashmere, known for its unrivalled softness and fine texture.

Why choose cashmere?

  • Softness: Often compared to silk, cashmere is one of the softest fibres in the world.
  • Warmth: Enjoy eight times the warmth of sheep's wool with cashmere, perfect for chilly days.
  • Breathability: Stay cool and comfortable thanks to cashmere's breathable nature.
  • Durability: With proper care, cashmere garments can last for many years.

But what makes cashmere more special is its rarity. Only a limited quantity is produced each year, and the labour-intensive collection and processing add to its value, making cashmere garments a worthwhile investment.

Beyond its luxurious qualities, cashmere offers additional benefits:

  • Lightweight and easy to wear.
  • Hypoallergenic, ideal for sensitive skin.
  • Moisture-wicking, keeping you dry and comfortable.
  • Naturally flame-resistant.

You'll find that cashmere can be used to create various garments, including sweaters, scarves, hats, gloves, socks, and even home goods like blankets and throws.

So if you seek a luxurious and durable fabric, consider cashmere. It's perfect for staying warm and comfortable in winter and is versatile enough to be worn in spring and fall.

Experience the indulgence of cashmere for yourself.
