The brushed cashmere jumper

Some materials change everything. The brushed cashmere is one of them. Softer, more enveloping, warmer than classic cashmere, it owes its incomparable texture to a brushing process that brings the fibres to the surface for a slightly fluffy, almost velvety feel. At Absolut Cashmere, we have made brushed cashmere one of our favourite materials for creating pieces that combine absolute comfort with confident style.

What is brushed cashmere?

Brushed cashmere is cashmere that has undergone a specific finishing process: once knitted, the jumper is passed over a brush that gently raises the fibres, creating a slightly fluffy, incredibly soft surface. This gives the jumper a visually thicker appearance, even more warmth to wear, and that enveloping feel that makes cashmere so addictive.

Compared to classic cashmere, brushed cashmere offers a more textured finish, enhanced warmth and an even more luxurious feel against the skin. It's a material made for days when you want comfort without compromising on style.

Exceptional cashmere, crafted with care

Our women's brushed cashmere jumpers are made from fibres selected for their fineness and softness. Each piece is designed to last, hold its shape wash after wash, and retain that unique feel that wins you over from the very first wear.

Modern, confident cuts for every silhouette

At Absolut Cashmere, brushed cashmere comes in cuts that truly suit you. Modern, confident silhouettes — neither too fitted nor too oversized — designed to flatter your figure while keeping you comfortable all day long.

The round neck: the timeless essential

The brushed cashmere round-neck jumper, it's the piece you can wear over anything. High-waisted jeans and trainers for a casual chic look, or slipped under a blazer for a more structured outfit — it adapts to every situation with effortless ease.

The roll neck: sophistication in its purest form

For colder days, the brushed cashmere roll-neck is a natural choice. It slims the silhouette, provides real warmth and instantly gives any outfit a Parisian feel. Wear it with wide-leg trousers or a midi skirt for a perfect autumn-winter look.

The oversized cut

For those who love a more voluminous silhouette, our collection features oversized brushed cashmere jumpers, perfect worn with slim-leg jeans or leggings. The balance between luxurious material and cool-girl spirit is guaranteed.

A colour palette full of life

This is perhaps where the Absolut Cashmere DNA shows most clearly. While others stick to black, grey and camel, we offer around thirty shades, from the most classic to the most vibrant. Because brushed cashmere deserves a truly beautiful palette.

FAQ: everything you need to know about women's brushed cashmere jumpers

What is the difference between classic cashmere and brushed cashmere? 

Brushed cashmere goes through an additional finishing stage that raises the surface fibres, giving it a slightly fluffy appearance and an even softer, more enveloping feel. It is generally warmer and appears thicker than traditional cashmere.

Does brushed cashmere itch? 

Not at all! That's one of its greatest qualities. Unlike some wools, brushed cashmere is remarkably soft against the skin, even for sensitive wearers. It can be worn directly next to the skin with no discomfort whatsoever.

How do you choose the right size in a brushed cashmere jumper? 

Check our size guide to find your perfect size. For a fluid, relaxed silhouette, you can size up; for a more fitted look, stick to your usual size.

Can you machine wash a brushed cashmere jumper? 

Yes, as long as you use the delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C, with a mesh laundry bag to protect the fibres. We do recommend hand washing where possible, to preserve the softness and longevity of the jumper.

What season is brushed cashmere best worn in? 

Its enhanced warmth makes it an ideal piece for autumn and winter. For transitional seasons, opt for the lighter shades and slimmer cuts in the collection. It also looks wonderful worn in the evening or in air-conditioned spaces in summer.

Is Absolut Cashmere brushed cashmere available in several colours? 

Absolutely! Our brushed cashmere jumpers are available in around thirty shades. Plenty to find the jumper that perfectly matches your personality.
