Details:

• 100% Recycled Cashmere (Europe).

Cashmere is one of the most luxurious wools, with desirable drape, softness and wrinkle resistance. It is up to three times more insulating than regular wool, with lofty fibers that can be tightly knit into warm and lightweight fabric. Like all wool, it wicks moisture and allows skin to breathe. Cashmere is considered hypoallergenic, since it doesn’t have lanolin. While more delicate than other wool, cashmere garments will not lose their shape if properly cared for. This is due to the fiber’s natural stretch that allows garment to move with you and recover.

This family-owned mill installed solar panels in 2011, in effort to power its electricity needs. Additionally, they treats wastewater internally before recycling. They recently obtained certification by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), are working toward the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI), and are shifting to organic linen and hemp. They abide by the following compliances: Global Recycled Standard (GRS) Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals Manufactured Restricted Substances List (ZDHC MRSL) Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)
