Cashmere

Cashmere

Cashmere stands as a highly sought-after fibre in the world of professional tailoring and fashion design. Known for its exceptional softness and warmth, this fine cashmere material offers superior insulation without the bulk associated with standard heavy wools. Whether crafting a structured winter coat or delicate accessories, cashmere brings a refined and professional finish to any collection.

Why choose deadstock cashmere fabrics?

Sourcing recovered treasures from prominent design houses allows creators to work with pristine condition fabrics while supporting a more circular fashion system. Instead of manufacturing new fabrics,, choosing designer stock gives a second life to existing, exceptionally woven textiles.
This approach significantly reduces the demand for raw resources and lessens the environmental impact traditionally associated with textile production. By selecting our designer stock cashmere textile options, you gain access to exclusive weaves and colours that were originally commissioned for luxury collections, ensuring excellent quality for your own garments.

Origin & characteristics

The journey of this remarkable fibre begins with the fine undercoat of the cashmere goat. To survive harsh winter climates, these goats develop a dense, soft layer of hair beneath their coarse outer coats. When expertly spun and woven into cashmere cloth, these fine fibres create a textile that provides outstanding thermal regulation, keeping warm in winter and comfortable during milder transitional seasons.
In terms of handle and drape, a quality cashmere fabric is remarkably lightweight yet structurally sound. It falls beautifully, making it an excellent choice for garments that require fluid movement alongside a soft, brushed finish.

FAQ

What makes cashmere different from regular wool?

Cashmere is sourced from the soft undercoat of specific goat breeds, whereas regular wool comes from sheep. The fibres are significantly finer and softer, providing better insulation relative to their weight. This gives the final garment a much softer handle without feeling heavy or rigid.

How should garments made from this cloth be maintained?

Due to the delicate nature of the fine fibres, garments should generally be dry-cleaned or carefully hand-washed in cold water using a specialist mild detergent. Avoid wringing the material, and always dry the pieces flat to maintain their shape and woven structure.

Can I order a sample before placing a full production order?

Yes, we highly recommend using our sample service. This allows you to check the exact shade, weight, and handle of our pristine condition stock before you secure the yardage needed for your upcoming collection.
