Cashmere Care
Taking care of your garment is important. Remember that cashmere is a living fibre: with a little attention, it will retain its beauty and quality even after many washes.

How do I wash a knitted cashmere garment?
- Turn the garment inside out and immerse it in a basin of cold water with a spoonful of our gentle shampoo, massaging it for a few minutes. If there are any stains, gently dab the area with a white cloth soaked in diluted detergent, without ever rubbing;
- Rinse it several times under running water, without wringing or twisting. Roll it in a towel or pat it to remove excess water;
- To complete drying, lay it flat on a surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid hanging it as it may lose its shape;
- Once dry, if necessary, iron the garment inside out using a medium/low temperature or steam it from a distance of 5 cm.
For pure cashmere garments, we recommend hand washing. However, machine washing is also possible by selecting a specific programme for wool or delicates without spinning and not exceeding 30°. Remember to never use fabric softener or bleach and never tumble dry the garment.
How do I wash a woven cashmere garment?
A woven cashmere garment, such as an overcoat, should be dry cleaned. We recommend contacting your trusted dry cleaner. The same applies to garments with fur inserts.
