The real price of cheap cashmere

I’ve always been a big fan of true high-end cashmere. The problem today is that many people think they can buy a genuine cashmere sweatshirt for €100. What they usually get at that price point is shorn cashmere, not combed, with very short fibre length and a much higher micron count. That’s why it can feel scratchy and never develops the softness and longevity that real, carefully selected cashmere is known for. For me, the beauty of cashmere lies in those rare fibres that are long, fine and patiently processed — that’s when it truly becomes a luxury fabric.
