Given how much excitement the New Cashmere stirred up, it didn’t take you long to know exactly what to ask for next. Enter: The Half-Zip Cashmere Jumper. Cut from the same errr cashmere.
They make a fitting pair: same spirit, same feel, same unapologetic character. The cashmere we use is pretty unusual and never fails to get a reaction. Our New Cashmere scored a pretty crazy 9.3/10 for comfort first time out. Safe to say, the team was pretty chuffed by your glowing reviews.
You should’ve seen our faces. “This little one’s going places.”
So, we thought the right thing to do would be to give it a sibling to play with.
Which is why we’re welcoming the newest member of the family: The Half-Zip Cashmere Jumper.
The same cashmere runs through their veins
We’re not about to take you through the whole family tree — nobody’s got time for that — but we can show you why this pedigree’s built to last.
- Yarn: a mix of 35% virgin cashmere + 65% recycled cashmere.
- The spinning: that part’s handled in Italy by Filati Naturali. The 65% recycled cashmere is GRS-certified. That means you can trace the whole chain, see exactly what kind of impact it has, and know the recycling is totally above board. No greenwashing, thanks.
- The knit: while the high street settles for basic 2-ply, we’ve gone for a properly twisted 3-ply. The result? A tight, compact knit that stands the test of time.
- Production: made in Bulgaria by long-standing partners, featuring sturdy ribbed edges and tidy finishing touches.
In short: you get the softness and warmth you want, made the responsible way — both for the people involved and the spinning piece of rock we live on.
The New Cashmere is back
Same winning formula: 35% virgin cashmere + 65% recycled, spun in Italy, knitted using a dense 3-ply yarn for maximum warmth. Everything everyone loved, now back in three new shades (teal, taupe and red). For anyone who missed it first time round or can’t resist a second bite.
So, what’s the youngster going to look like?
Our Half-Zip Cashmere Jumper is cut from the same cloth — the same material and strict standards — but with a definite twist: a handsome, obedient collar detailed with a zip, ready to air your neck (and instantly up your layering game). And there’s the tidy straight fit, happy to play nice with a shirt or a T-shirt.
