Luxury shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense. Our collection of recycled cashmere sweaters is knit from pre-loved fibers, giving existing garments a second life while reducing waste, water, and energy use. You get the same cloud-soft feel of cashmere, with a noticeably lighter footprint on the planet.
Why Choose Recycled Cashmere?
Recycled cashmere lets you enjoy the luxury feel of cashmere without the heavy impact of using all-new fibers. By giving existing garments a second life, you support a circular approach to style that’s softer on the planet and still incredibly cozy to wear. It’s an easy swap that aligns comfort with your values.
Soft, breathable knits that feel like traditional cashmere.
Recycled cashmere still starts with real cashmere fibers, so you get the same cloud-soft hand feel, warmth, and breathability you expect from premium knitwear.
Lower-impact fiber that reuses existing material.
By reclaiming fibers from pre-loved garments instead of relying only on virgin cashmere, recycled cashmere helps reduce waste, resource use, and the overall footprint of your closet.
Made to last, so you can build a smaller, harder-working wardrobe.
Thoughtful construction and quality yarns mean these pieces are designed for repeat wear, letting you invest in fewer, better sweaters you’ll reach for season after season.
How Our Recycled Cashmere Is Made
Behind every piece is a careful, considered process designed to honor the fiber’s second life. We work with partners who specialize in reclaiming and reworking cashmere so that softness and quality never get lost along the way. The result is knitwear that feels new, but carries a lighter impact.
· Pre-loved cashmere is collected and sorted by color. Existing cashmere garments and production offcuts are gathered, then carefully separated by shade to minimize the need for re-dyeing.
· Fibers are cleaned, gently broken down, and respun into new yarn. The fabric is deconstructed into fibers, washed, and blended, then spun into soft, durable yarn ready for a second life.
· Our partners knit small-batch sweaters and accessories with a focus on quality and longevity. That yarn is then used to create timeless silhouettes in limited runs, so each piece is made with care, not overproduction.
Caring for Your Recycled Cashmere
A little extra care goes a long way in keeping recycled cashmere looking and feeling its best. With gentle washing and mindful storage, your knit can stay soft, hold its shape, and live in your wardrobe for years. Think of it as a simple ritual that protects both your sweater and your investment.
1. Hand wash or use a gentle, cold cycle in a garment bag. Use a mild, wool-safe detergent and avoid hot water, which can cause fibers to shrink or felt.
2. Lay flat to dry and reshape while damp. After washing, gently press out excess water, then lay your sweater flat on a towel, smoothing it back into its original shape.
3. Store folded, not hung, to help your knit keep its shape. Keeping recycled cashmere folded in a drawer or on a shelf prevents stretching at the shoulders and helps it look great for longer.
