How to Care for Cashmere So It Lasts a Lifetime

Cashmere is a fiber shaped by nature and time. It carries with it the history of where it comes from—and the care of how it’s treated. It asks for little, but gives back generously. With proper care, it will stay with you season after season.

Wash Less

Cashmere doesn’t demand attention. If it’s not soiled, don’t wash it. Let it rest. Fold it, let it breathe. Often, that’s enough.

Wash with Intention

When cleaning is needed, do it by hand. Cold water, gentle detergent, no twisting or wringing. Just patience. Lay it flat on a towel and let gravity do the work. Dry cleaning is an option—but should be used sparingly. Technique matters more than chemicals.

Store with Care

Fold it. Never hang it. Protect it in a cotton bag or clean drawer. A bit of cedar or lavender helps. Avoid moisture, and if you’re putting it away for a while, make sure it’s dry. Always.

Handle What’s Natural

Pilling isn’t a flaw—it’s a sign of wear, of life. Remove gently with a comb or stone. Not everything has to be perfect. Cashmere softens with time, and it wears its journey well.

Respect the Material

Cashmere isn’t meant to be fast or flashy. It’s a material that reflects intention. Where it came from. How it was made. And the choices you make to keep it.
