Recycled cashmere wrap
Complete the look
- 100% cashmere
At least half recycled cashmere – what this means
It comes from cashmere pieces and offcuts that already exist: instead of becoming waste, they go back to being yarn. The fibre has already lived once, though, and is shorter than virgin fibre, so pilling is more likely to appear: the piece asks for more attention, and it pays to follow the washing instructions closely. Recycled cashmere
Knitted in two-ply yarn – what this means
The yarn is not one strand but two, twisted around each other. A two-ply yarn is more stable in the wash, holds its shape and pills less than a single-ply yarn. Our factory

Does the recycled cashmere itch?
No. Recycled fibre is sorted and spun like any other, and the knit comes out soft enough to wear against the skin.
Does it last as long as virgin cashmere?
It lasts, but it pills a little sooner. Reclaimed fibre has already been spun once, so it is shorter than new fibre, and short fibres work their way to the surface faster. A cashmere comb lifts the pills off, and with the right care the wrap stays good for years.
Is recycled cashmere the same quality as virgin cashmere?
It is cashmere either way – what changes is where the fibre comes from, not what the yarn is. The practical difference in wear is that the recycled part pills a little sooner, which is why the rest of the yarn is virgin cashmere and why the washing instructions matter.
Is it all recycled?
No, and we would rather say so. The yarn is 100% cashmere: at least half of it is recycled cashmere, the rest is virgin cashmere.
Is there anything to pay on delivery?
No. The price includes VAT and any import charges, and we take care of customs ourselves, so there is nothing to pay the courier when it arrives. It ships free from Italy by FedEx, in 2–5 working days.
What if I need to send it back?

A wrap wide enough to cover both shoulders and long enough to cross at the front. The yarn is a thicker 2/18 count, so the wrap has real weight on the shoulders: about 11 ounces. It falls in soft folds rather than holding a shape: in red, over a black trench; in beige, over a dress in the evening.
100% cashmere, at least half of it recycled: fibre recovered from cashmere garments and offcuts that already existed, turned back into yarn instead of waste. The rest is virgin cashmere. The yarn comes from a spinning mill in Prato, and we knit it in our family's factory, in the Tuscan textile district. Reclaimed fibre has already been spun once, so it is shorter than new fibre and pills a little sooner, which is why the washing instructions matter. The yarn is two-ply – two strands twisted around each other before knitting – so the knit holds its shape through washing. Origin traceability certified Tfashion 100% Made in Italy, which certifies the making and not just the label. How recycled cashmere is made
80.75" × 21.75" (205 × 55 cm), one size, about 11 oz (310 g). Several colours, from neutrals to darks.
Hand wash cool, or use the wool or delicate cycle at 30°C. Don't wring it: press the water out with a towel and dry flat, away from direct heat and sun. A cashmere comb lifts off any pills that form. Cared for this way, it will last years. Care and washing
