Bargain cashmere sometimes comes at a cost that isn’t just paid by the consumer. Cheap cashmere doesn’t, cannot, last like the best quality cashmere. But more than that it is not good for the planet! As I’ve said before overgrazing in Mongolia is causing desertification, low prices are costing the goat owners their land and their living! So do think twice before you buy the cheapest cashmere, even if the quality seems good.
On the other hand, good quality cashmere, like many premium products, is likely to be reduced in the sales. Look out for high quality brands and ask where it’s come from or as she suggests look for gorgeous vintage cashmere. Buying cashmere online can help you bag some really good bargains and protect the planet.
