Half-placket sweater

Fibre
Our cashmere comes from Inner Mongolia where cashmere goats graze freely and the herdsmen follow appropriate standards of animal welfare and land management. We use only grade A cashmere fibre which is very fine and has a longer staple length to ensure our knits remain soft and wear well.
Our Organic cotton is certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) from the organic fibre source to the spinning of the yarn. GOTS is the leading standard for organic fibres, including ecological and social criteria and is backed by independent third-party certification. We are working on extending the certification to cover the entire textile supply chain.

Fabric
Our cashmere and organic cotton mix is incredibly soft and lightweight. It is a lovely luxury fabric that is perfect for garments worn next to skin like warm tops or sweaters. The fibres are 'top' dyed before being spun into yarn. This process results in beautiful melange colours and a softer hand feel. Each panel is knitted to the shape of the garment which therefore creates less wastage. Panels and trims are attached using a hand-linking machine, resulting in a premium, high-quality garment. It is carefully washed to open the fibre for the distinctive cashmere softness whilst keeping its shape.

Factory
Focused on creating low volume, high-quality garments, our Dongguan, near Hong Kong, based supplier is owned and managed by Jackie, recently with the involvement of his charming son Chapman. It is always a pleasure to visit Jackie and receive a sample from him as he nearly always interprets the design so well.
