How are your cashmere sweaters made?
It all starts with harvesting fiber from nomadic pastoralists. The raw material arrives by bales in our factory. It is then sorted, washed, spun, then tinted to be put on the knitting machines. We are therefore fortunate to have a real traceability in the manufacture of our cashmere.

Your advice to take care of a cashmere sweater?
Cashmere is an exceptional material and requires special care to keep all its characteristics. The maintenance of a cashmere sweater is a determining point as to its life!
First of all, we advise you not to wear your cashmere more than 2/3 days in a row to let the fiber rest, and to avoid too much friction, because the cashmere remains a delicate matter. We recommend washing machine, cold and especially without softener, wool program, minimum spin (if possible in a net) , then dry flat on a towel, away from heat and Sun. Finally, you can iron it if necessary.
