Cashmere goats in a highland landscape

Buyers’ guide · By Natalie Smith · 15.05.2025

The Archibald Buyer'sGuide for Cashmere

“True cashmere reveals itself in the fibre, the making and the years it lasts.”

This is the guide we wish every buyer had: where the fibre comes from, what craftsmanship changes, which shortcuts fail and how to inspect a piece for yourself.

After wear

Rest the garment between wears, air it flat and brush away loose surface fibre gently. Giving the fibres time to recover helps the knit retain its shape. If it is creased, use light steam from a distance rather than pressing directly.
