Cashmere Care & FAQs

What exactly is cashmere, and what makes it so special?

Cashmere is a luxurious natural fiber derived from the soft undercoat of Cashmere goats, primarily found in the high-altitude regions of Mongolia and China. What makes it special is its exceptional softness, lightweight feel, and superior insulating properties – it's significantly warmer than sheep's wool yet incredibly breathable. This unique combination makes it comfortable in various temperatures and a truly exquisite material.

How is cashmere sourced, and what measures ensure ethical practices?

Cashmere is typically sourced during the spring molting season when goats naturally shed their winter undercoat. Herders hand-comb the fibers, a gentle process that doesn't harm the animals. At Wear With, we are committed to ethical sourcing, partnering with suppliers who prioritize animal welfare and sustainable grazing practices to minimize environmental impact. We ensure our cashmere comes from responsible sources.

How can I protect my cashmere from moths during storage?

Moths are attracted to dirt and natural fibers. Always ensure your cashmere is thoroughly clean before storing it for extended periods. Store garments in airtight containers, sealed bags, or breathable garment bags. Using natural moth repellents like cedar balls, lavender sachets, or cedar hangers can also provide an additional layer of protection.
