Cashmere loves water: wash it every 3 to 4 wears and it will only get more beautiful over time. Hand washing is strongly recommended, but you can also machine wash your cashmere by following our guidelines.

For best results, turn your cashmere inside out, use a cold cycle (20°C max) with no spin.

Place it in a mesh laundry bag to protect it from drum friction.

Fabric softeners and traditional detergents containing bleaching agents and enzymes are not suitable for cashmere. Their composition could cause the colour and luminosity to fade.

Drying is often the step where beautiful cashmere loses its shape. A few simple precautions are enough to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Drying flat — the step you should never skip

Once washed, lay your garment on a clean towel and gently roll it up to absorb the excess water, without wringing or squeezing by hand. Unroll it, reshape it, then leave it to dry flat on a dry towel, away from sunlight and any heat source. No radiator, no tumble dryer: direct heat is cashmere's number one enemy.

Can cashmere garments be ironed?

Yes, cashmere can be ironed, as long as you take care. Turn your garment inside out and use a low heat setting with steam, or place a damp pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric to avoid any direct contact. This simple step restores a perfect drape before you wear your favourite piece, without ever putting the fibre under stress.

Pilling is a natural phenomenon caused by excess fibres. Add white vinegar to the rinse water and use a cashmere comb if needed.

Cedar wood, essential oils, lavender flowers… choose a natural moth repellent to keep moths away and release a delicate woody scent.

Les petites bouloches qui apparaissent sur un pull en cachemire ne sont pas un défaut de fabrication, bien au contraire : c'est le signe d'une matière naturelle et vivante, qui se libère de son surplus de fibres au fil des frottements. C'est un phénomène normal, surtout dans les premiers temps, et il disparaît progressivement avec les lavages.

Pour en limiter l'apparition, quelques habitudes suffisent :

• Suivez nos conseils de lavage pour préserver la fibre dans la durée.
• Évitez de porter votre cachemire sous un vêtement à zones de frottement marquées (bandoulière, ceinture, poches à fermoir).
• Ajoutez un peu de vinaigre blanc dans l'eau de rinçage pour assouplir la fibre.

Si des bouloches apparaissent malgré tout, utilisez un peigne ou un rasoir anti-bouloche, en gestes légers et circulaires, dans le sens de la maille. Ne les arrachez jamais à la main, vous risqueriez de créer un trou. Notre kit d'entretien réunit tout le nécessaire pour ce geste simple, à renouveler au fil des saisons.

A stain on your favourite cashmere is not the end of the world, as long as you act quickly.

1. Immediately blot the excess liquid with a clean cloth — without rubbing — to prevent the stain from setting into the fibre.

2. Apply a specialist wool detergent or a stain remover designed for cashmere directly to the affected area.

3. Leave it to work for a few minutes, then proceed with the usual wash, by hand or in the machine, following our advice above.

For greasy or coloured stains (wine, sauce, make-up), the approach is the same: dab without ever rubbing, always working from the outside towards the centre of the stain to avoid spreading it. If it still won't budge, it is better to entrust your garment to a specialist dry cleaner rather than making repeated attempts, which could weaken the fibre.

Storage is a step that is too often overlooked, yet it determines how well your pieces hold their shape over time.

• Always fold your cashmere garments rather than hanging them on a hanger, which distorts the shoulders and stretches the knit.
• Store them in a garment bag or a drawer, away from light, in a dry and well-ventilated place.
• Tuck a few cedar or lavender balls into your drawers or garment bags: they are effective natural moth repellents that protect the fibre while releasing a pleasant scent.

Un vêtement en cachemire se révèle au fil du temps, un entretien attentif lui permet de préserver toute sa douceur, sa tenue et son éclat, lavage après lavage. Une attention qui prolonge sa beauté et vous invite à réinventer vos essentiels, saison après saison.

Can cashmere be machine washed?

Yes, as long as you place it in a laundry bag, select a cold or wool programme at a maximum of 20–30°C, and reduce or eliminate the spin cycle. Hand washing remains the gentlest method for preserving the fibre in the long term.

Does cashmere shrink in the wash?

Cashmere can shrink if washed in hot water or tumble dried. By keeping to a maximum temperature of 20–30°C and drying flat, this risk is avoided.

Why is my cashmere jumper pilling?

Pilling is a natural phenomenon caused by fibres rubbing against each other. It is more common on new pieces and fades with washing. A cashmere comb or fabric shaver makes it easy to remove the pills without damaging the knit.

How do you remove a set-in stain from cashmere?

A set-in stain is harder to treat than a fresh one. Rehydrate it by gently dabbing with a damp cloth, then apply a specialist wool detergent before washing the garment as normal. If the stain persists, a specialist dry cleaner remains the safest option.

Should cashmere be washed often?

Washing every 3 to 4 wears is ideal. Contrary to popular belief, spacing out washes does not help preserve the fibre — cashmere actually needs regular contact with water to stay soft and supple.

How do you protect cashmere from moths?

Store your garments folded, in a garment bag or a closed drawer, and tuck in some cedar balls or lavender sachets. These natural moth repellents keep insects away without exposing the fibre to harsh chemicals.

Can cashmere be dry cleaned?

Yes, dry cleaning is an option, particularly for stubborn stains that resist a regular wash. It should, however, be reserved for difficult cases: a regular, gentle hand wash is sufficient in the vast majority of situations.
