For centuries, cashmere has been a material prized for its incomparable softness and finesse. But what differentiates an ordinary piece from a truly exceptional piece? Immerse yourself in the world of cashmere and discover the essential criteria to make an informed choice.
What makes cashmere so unique?
Cashmere comes from the down of goats living mainly in the Asian highlands. This down, harvested by hand, offers unparalleled finesse. What sets premium cashmere apart is the length and fineness of fibers. The longer the fibers, the more durable the garment will be and will maintain its silky appearance over time.
The criteria for recognizing exceptional cashmere
When choosing a cashmere piece, several elements should attract your attention:
- Origin of cashmere : Cashmere from Inner Mongolia is renowned for its quality.
- Wire thickness : High-end cashmere is often woven with a fine but dense thread, guaranteeing strength and softness.
- Number of threads (ply) : Prefer models with two or more wires, a guarantee of durability.
- Craftsmanship : Each step of the process, from knitting to finishing, influences the final result.
At Coulange, each cashmere piece is designed using precise techniques, guaranteeing a perfect fit and an incomparable feel.
