• 100% Recycled Cashmere (Mongolia/Italy). Dying/Weaving/Finishing Italy

This Italian deadstock supplier is committed to eliminating textile waste by recycling and repurposing old fabrics. This company complies with the following standards: Certified Cardato Recycled [Made in Prato] Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals Manufactured Restricted Substances List (ZDHC MRSL) Global Recycled Standard (GRS) 2018-052 Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) 2019-018. This garment was produced at a family-owned Italian factory. It was initially founded in 1957 as a traditional tailor shop, transitioning to become a factory in 1985. Today it is run by the founder’s daughter and her husband.

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.

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.
