What Makes Cashmere Unique?

     Cashmere is one of the softest fibers in the world. The art of refining the natural fibers is an extremely rigorous process. Artisans begin by gathering hair from goats and begin the process to create the fabric that we know and love today. Cashmere is a well-known and widely popular product in today's market. In the past, cashmere was considered a luxury reserved for royalty.

     Cashmere is produced in a couple of different thicknesses. First, there is a very lightweight or featherweight product that is extremely popular. This is the perfect weight for season in Palm Beach or even springtime at the Cape or in the Hamptons! The second familiar way that cashmere is produced is as a heavier knit. It provides a lovely warmth and comfort for the extremely cold climates such as Colorado in the winter! 

History of Cashmere

     Buyers have sought this material for centuries. Merchants would travel from all lengths of the globe to trade for this precious material. Markets began opening in the Middle East and Europe. There has also been an increased focus on artisans to producing cashmere that is both a sustainable and ethical.
