THE ULTIMATE CASHMERE GUIDE
Why cashmere will always be the ultimate wardrobe investment.
Cashmere doesn't follow trends. It predates them, outlasts them. It is one of the few things in a wardrobe that you never have to think twice about, not whether it's still relevant, not whether it goes with anything, not whether you'll still want it next year. You will.
And unlike most things that carry a higher price, cashmere genuinely earns it over time. A well-made piece gets better with wear. Softer after every season. Five years in, it fits differently: not worse, but more yours. We carry the brands that understand this — Soft Goat for the purists, Lisa Yang for those who want colour and texture, and our own Wakakuu Icons for the pieces worth coming back to. Browse our full edit of cashmere sweaters.
Softer than standard cashmere, with a raised nap that makes it feel almost cloud-like against the skin. The choice when comfort is the only brief. The brushed cardigan layers effortlessly over anything, while the brushed short sleeve works just as well on its own.
Crew necks, turtlenecks, V-necks — the pieces that anchor everything else. Buy these in the shades you wear most and you'll reach for them without thinking. The cashmere r-neck and turtleneck for a sleeker fit, or the boyfriend turtleneck and boyfriend crewneck when you want something a little more relaxed. Browse the full edit of cashmere sweaters and find your go-to.
The most versatile thing in the cashmere edit. Worn open, buttoned up, tied at the waist, or thrown over the shoulders — it does the work of several other pieces. The wrap cardigan in pearl or black is a perennial favourite, while the double knit cardigan and the Denie offer something a little more structured. Browse all cardigans and find the one you'll live in.
Scarves, wraps, and hats in the same fibre as the rest. The finishing touches that make the whole outfit feel considered rather than put together. Choose from the paisley scarf, the triangle wool cashmere scarf, or the classic cashmere scarf in red — or layer up with the Stockholm beanie, the balaclava, and the brushed mittens. Browse all scarves or the full range of accessories.
CARING FOR CASHMERE
Cashmere needs a little more care than most things, but not much. Learn the basics once and it becomes habit. Do it right and your pieces will last and improve for years.
How do I wash a cashmere sweater?
Cool water, specialist cashmere wash or a gentle detergent. Handle softly — no wringing, no scrubbing. Hot water shrinks it permanently.
How should I dry cashmere?
Lay flat on a towel and reshape while damp. Never hang it to dry — it will stretch. No direct heat, no sunlight.
Is pilling a sign of bad quality?
Pilling happens, especially early on. It's not a quality issue — it's just how the fibre behaves. Remove pills with a cashmere comb, gently.
How should I store cashmere?
Always fold, never hang — hangers distort the shoulders over time. Store in breathable cotton bags, not plastic. Make sure pieces are clean before putting them away for the season.
How often should I wash cashmere?
You don't need to wash it every time. Air it out between wears. Every three to five wears is plenty — overwashing shortens its life.
