Fabric

Cashmere is one of the most luxurious wools, with desirable drape, softness and wrinkle resistance. It is up to three times more insulating than regular wool, with lofty fibers that can be tightly knit into warm and lightweight fabric. Like all wool, it wicks moisture and allows skin to breathe. Cashmere is considered hypoallergenic, since it doesn’t have lanolin. While more delicate than other wool, cashmere garments will not lose their shape if properly cared for. This is due to the fiber’s natural stretch that allows garment to move with you and recover. Upcycling deadstock or otherwise discarded materials allows the lifecycle of a product to exist beyond its anticipated performance. This technique implements circular measures; reusing and repurposing materials that still have great potential therefore reduce this garment’s footprint, and ultimately provide a creative solution to overproduction and excessive use of natural resources.
