Cashmere Care

We recommend professional dry cleaning to preserve the beauty and feel of your cashmere.

For garments with care labels that permit hand washing, gentle washing at home is also an option.

Avoid machine washing, including delicate or hand-wash cycles, unless specifically permitted on the garment’s care label. Agitation can cause cashmere to shrink, stretch or felt.

Use cool to lukewarm water and a small amount of gentle detergent formulated for wool and cashmere.

Avoid harsh detergents, bleach and heavily fragranced products, which may affect the softness and appearance of the fibers.

Submerge your cashmere in water and gently move it through the water without rubbing, scrubbing or twisting.

Allow it to soak briefly, for up to five minutes, before rinsing carefully in clean water at a similar temperature.

Avoid fabric softener, which can leave residue on the natural fibers.

Gently press out excess water without wringing.

Lay your garment flat on a clean towel, roll it carefully to absorb moisture, then reshape and place it flat on a fresh, dry towel.

Allow it to air-dry naturally, away from direct sunlight and heat.

Never hang wet cashmere, as the weight of the water can stretch the garment and alter its shape.

Cashmere doesn’t need to be washed after every wear.

Allow your garments to air between uses to help them stay fresh. A gentle steam, where permitted by the care label, can help release creases and restore their appearance.

Light pilling is a natural characteristic of cashmere, particularly in areas exposed to friction.

Carefully remove pills with a cashmere comb or a suitable fabric-care tool, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Always fold your cashmere rather than hanging it, helping preserve its shape.

Before storing for an extended period, ensure each garment is clean and completely dry.

Keep pieces in a cool, dry space, ideally in breathable storage bags. Appropriate moth protection can help preserve your cashmere between seasons.

With thoughtful care, your favorite pieces can remain part of your wardrobe for years to come.
