How to wash

  1. Prolong the life of your cashmere by washing less often.
  2. When needed, Hand wash in cold water (max. 20°C) using a gentle wool/cashmere shampoo.
  3. Rinse well in cold water after washing, but avoid wringing. Gently roll the garment in a towel to remove any excess water.
  4. Reshape your garment while still damp, and dry on a flat surface.
  5. Store your cashmere folded to prevent stretching.
  6. If pilling occurs, use a sweater comb or sweater stone to gently remove pills.

  • Detergent

    Do not use fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh detergents. This will also minimize any chemicals entering the waterways.

  • Keep in mind

    Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, or frequent dry cleaning. Keep away from friction, sharp jewelry, and excessive heat. Do not hang for long periods.

  • Storage

    Store flat in a breathable cotton bag, avoiding plastic covers and humid spaces. Use natural moth repellents like cedarwood, lavender, or rosemary nearby.
