The benefits of cashmere

  

Cashmere is a sought-after and expensive material, often used in high-end clothing and textile products. It has a combination of unique properties that have earned cashmere its reputation as a luxury material and justifies its premium price. 

 

Softness       

            Cashmere is incredibly soft, often described as "Luxuriously soft" or "silky". Its fibers are finer and

            softer than those of sheep's wool, making it comfortable to wear against the skin.   

 Insulation 

Cashmere is up to 8 times more insulating than regular sheep's wool, providing superior insulation.          This is due to the harsh climate the cashmere goats live in, with extreme cold weather conditions.

Lightness   

Cashmere is a lightweight fabric in comparison to the warmth it offers. Cashmere clothing is never bulky, which makes it easy to travel with- it won't take up too much space in your suitcase.

Wrinkle Resistance  

Cashmere does not wrinkle, making it an ideal fabric for travel clothing when you won't always have an iron on hand.

Moisture Wicking   

Cashmere has a high moisture content and as the humidity changes in the air so does its insulation, making it comfortable in all climates, even in summer. The fibres have water-repellent exteriors and the interior attracts water. this means it draws moisture, such as sweat, away from the body.

Breathable  

Cashmere fibres have natural breathability, which helps regulate body temperature and prevent overheating. 

Luxurious     

Cashmere has a luxurious appearance and feel, adding elegance and sophistication to any outfit. Its soft, smooth texture and subtle sheen give it a timeless and refined look.

Hypoallergenic   

Cashmere is naturally hypoallergenic, making it a great choice for those with sensitive skin or allergies. It's less likely to cause itching or irritation compared to other types of wool. 

Smart Investment

When cashmere is cared for correctly, it can last a lifetime. It is a timeless fabric and classic styles will always be on-trend.
