Fashion Hints, Tips and Tricks: for cashmere purchasing and care

Hints and tips for your cashmere purchases and care

When buying cashmere, test its quality by gently stretching the body of the garment. It should "snap back" and regain its shape if the quality is high: A lower-quality cashmere just won’t.

Also: Despite what it says on the tag of your new cashmere piece it really is best if you wash these delicate items by hand. Rather than rolling in a towel and squeezing out excess water, use a salad spinner! Unlike the towel method this process releases excess water in seconds without stretching the fibers and weakening them over time.
