Is Cashmere a Luxury? Yes, and Still Within Reach
Many people consider cashmere to be a luxury product and, as a result, not always affordable. At Dalle Piane Cashmere, though, we want to make this highly prized material democratic and accessible to everyone!
You might be wondering:
"But how is it possible to keep prices low while guaranteeing quality?"
Quite simply, Dalle Piane Cashmere products are designed and made exclusively in our workshop, from local yarns, for two reasons: keeping every stage of production in-house lets us check every detail closely and, at the same time, keep costs down.
Buying raw materials from producers in the area and making only what is needed lets us cut waste, and better resource management shows up in the price of our garments!
Within reach, and made from fiber already in circulation
What's more, the same thinking led to DP Recycled, our recycled cashmere collection, whose manufacturing process draws on the historic art of recycling fabrics in the textile district of Prato, Tuscany.
This lets us obtain a quality yarn with reduced use of energy, water and chemical resources. Because the fiber is shorter than virgin cashmere, pills are a little more likely to form, so we recommend following the washing instructions closely to keep your garments looking good for longer.
What's the result? Quality garments made with less energy, water and chemical input! In plain terms that means: lower costs for us, lower prices for our customers and material kept in use instead of thrown away! 🌱
