The quality of cashmere can be defined by two aspects: Average fibre length and average fibre diameter. Due to the chemical treatment of lower quality garments you will often not feel the difference when you buy it. Only when you wear and wash it, you feel the difference. High quality cashmere becomes softer and pills less over time. Low quality cashmere becomes less soft as the chemicals dilute with every wash.

Cashmere garments are known for their durability and longevity. High-quality cashmere items can last for many years, reducing the need for frequent replacements and reducing overall consumption. Cashmere is biodegradable, which means it decomposes naturally over time. Unlike synthetic fibers, cashmere won’t contribute to plastic pollution in landfills or oceans.
