Cashmere & Alpaca

Fine cashmere and alpaca fibres become more beautiful when handled lightly. A little pilling is natural where soft fibres rub and is not a sign of poor quality.

The care label comes first

Construction, dye, trims and lining can change how a fabric should be cleaned. If the label is more restrictive than this guide, always follow the label.

The routine

01 · Wash

Use cool water and patience

Turn inside out and wash briefly with a small amount of specialist detergent. Support the wet knit fully when lifting it from the water.

02 · Dry

Roll, never wring

Roll the garment in a clean towel to absorb moisture, then reshape and dry flat on a fresh towel or mesh surface.

03 · Finish

Restore the soft handle

Once completely dry, smooth gently by hand. Use a cashmere comb sparingly on high-friction areas and never pull pills.

Garments prepared for considered storage

Between seasons

Keep it at its best.

Give knitwear a day of rest between wears. Store folded, clean and breathable; avoid plastic bags and crowded shelves.
