Italy in Cashmere Sustainability Actions

Uses recycled cashmere

We use either a sustainable 100% cashmere yarn that is certified by the Sustainable Fibre Alliance or we use recycled cashmere. Recycled cashmere can be made in two different ways. One is post-factory, so for example when my factory is making my 100% cashmere items, whatever pieces are leftover can be shredded down and reengineered into new yarn. And the other option is post-consumer waste.

Manufactures in Perugia

I manufacture all the pieces in Perugia, Italy, which is just outside of Florence. The area of Perugia is historically very well-known for it’s cashmere production expertise. It’s a place where families and generations have been knitting, spinning and manufacturing cashmere for centuries.

Uses traceability systems

Italian cashmere producers are implementing traceability systems that provide detailed information about the entire supply chain, from the farms where the goats are raised to the factories where the yarn is spun and the garments are made. Blockchain technology is being explored as a means to enhance transparency and traceability.
