Cashmere is a true wardrobe staple, known for its softness, warmth, and timeless appeal. But not all cashmere is created equal, and navigating the world of cashmere can be tricky. From the quality of the fibers to the craftsmanship behind each piece, understanding what to look for in a cashmere garment can ensure that you make a purchase that lasts for years.
Here’s everything you need to know about selecting cashmere that meets the highest standards, featuring our Top Picks, we know you love them 👀.
Quality of Fibers
Premium cashmere comes from the undercoat of cashmere goats, primarily sourced from Mongolia and Inner Mongolia. The finest cashmere uses longer, thinner fibers, which not only provide softness but also make the fabric more durable and resistant to pilling. Look for labels specifying “Grade A” or "two-ply" cashmere, indicating higher quality and resilience.
Craftsmanship and Feel
Cashmere should feel both substantial and smooth to the touch, with a soft drape that doesn’t appear flimsy or overly thin. Quality pieces often have denser knits, which provide warmth without excess bulk. Check the stitching, especially at the seams, as high-quality craftsmanship will ensure the piece maintains its shape and structure over time.
