AT ABSOLUT CASHMERE, WE BELIEVE IN FASHION MADE TO LAST. PIECES YOU KEEP, PASS ON AND WEAR SEASON AFTER SEASON, WITHOUT EVER TIRING OF THEM. THIS VISION GUIDES OUR
COMMITMENT: TO CREATE MORE THOUGHTFULLY CRAFTED COLLECTIONS, WITH STYLE AND GOOD SENSE.

UNITED BY A SHARED PASSION FOR CASHMERE, JEAN PASCAL CANDAU AND OLIVIER CRIQ FOUNDED THE MCC GROUP IN 1998 AROUND A STRONG CONVICTION: TO OFFER EXCEPTIONAL CASHMERE, EVERYTHING BEGINS AT THE VERY SOURCE OF THE FIBRE.

OUR PRODUCTION TAKES PLACE AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE FIBRES, PRIMARILY IN CHINA, TO REMAIN AT THE HEART OF THE MATERIALS AND ENSURE CONTROLLED MANUFACTURING. WE WORK HAND IN HAND WITH MANUFACTURERS SELECTED FOR THEIR RECOGNISED EXPERTISE, WITH WHOM WE HAVE BUILT LONGSTANDING RELATIONSHIPS OVER THE YEARS. BEHIND EVERY MATERIAL, THERE IS A
CAREFUL ATTENTION TO DETAIL: THE CASHMERE YARN IS METICULOUSLY CHECKED FROM THE MOMENT IT IS CREATED, TO GUARANTEE THE QUALITY FOUND IN EVERY PIECE.

For 27 years, the MCC Group has cultivated a unique expertise in fully fashioned knitwear,
a technique that allows each piece to be shaped with remarkable precision. This know-how is rooted at the very heart of cashmere's origin: Inner Mongolia, in China. It is in this region — ancestral home of cashmere — that hircus goats are raised, whose downy undercoat produces the world's finest exceptional fibres.

FINALLY, OUR PARISIAN STYLE STUDIO, MADE UP OF KNITWEAR EXPERTS, ENSURES THE CREATIVE VISION AND THE ABSOLUT CASHMERE DNA ARE UPHELD WITH EVERY NEW COLLECTION.

TO COMBINE THE TRACEABILITY OF OUR MATERIALS WITH THE COMFORT OF OUR PRODUCTS, WE FAVOUR NOBLE FIBRES SUCH AS CASHMERE, COTTON, WOOL AND LINEN.

AWARE OF THE KEY ROLE MATERIALS PLAY IN OUR ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT. WE WORK HAND IN HAND WITH OUR LOCAL PARTNERS IN CHINA TO EVOLVE THEIR PRACTICES AND REDUCE OUR IMPACT.

WITH THIS IN MIND, EVERY PIECE IS CONSIDERED IN ITS ENTIRETY, FROM DESIGN TO DELIVERY. WE ARE PROGRESSIVELY INCORPORATING RECYCLED MATERIALS INTO OUR PACKAGING AND ENSURE OUR PRODUCTS ARE DELIVERED TO OUR PARISIAN BOUTIQUES BY ELECTRIC VEHICLES.

standing by women

OUR COMMITMENT EXTENDS BEYOND OUR COLLECTIONS. DRIVEN BY THE DESIRE TO SUPPORT CONCRETE INITIATIVES THAT STAND BY WOMEN IN NEED, EVERY OCTOBER IN SUPPORT OF BREAST CANCER AWARENESS, WE HAVE BEEN SUPPORTING THE ROSEUP ASSOCIATION FOR THREE YEARS. AN ASSOCIATION COMMITTED TO WOMEN AFFECTED BY ALL FORMS OF CANCER, THIS APPROACH IS ROOTED IN A SPIRIT OF SOLIDARITY — TO HELP ADVANCE RESEARCH AND STRENGTHEN SUPPORT FOR WOMEN LIVING WITH CANCER. THROUGH ITS INITIATIVES, IT OFFERS DAY-TO-DAY SUPPORT BY FACILITATING ACCESS TO RELIABLE INFORMATION, DEDICATED RESOURCES, AND SPACES FOR EXCHANGE AND MUTUAL AID. IT ALSO WORKS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF PATIENTS DURING AND AFTER TREATMENT, BY AMPLIFYING WOMEN'S VOICES TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND TO INSTITUTIONS. 

FOR THE MCC GROUP, CSR COMMITMENT TAKES ON A COLLECTIVE DIMENSION.

IN 2023, WE CARRIED OUT OUR FIRST CARBON FOOTPRINT ASSESSMENT TO BETTER
UNDERSTAND OUR IMPACT ON THE CLIMATE.

IN 2026, WE ARE RENEWING THIS EXERCISE WITH THE SUPPORT OF AN EXPERT PLATFORM SPECIALISING IN THE TEXTILE SECTOR, IN ORDER TO DEFINE OUR
NEW DECARBONISATION ROADMAP.

TRACEABILITY IS ALSO A PRIORITY: WE USE THE TRACE FOR GOOD PLATFORM, WHICH IS ABLE TO PROVIDE THE COUNTRIES INVOLVED IN THE MANUFACTURING, DYEING AND KNITTING STAGES OF OUR FINISHED PRODUCTS; ON OUR END, THIS TRACEABILITY ALLOWS US TO BETTER IDENTIFY THE PLAYERS IN OUR SUPPLY CHAIN AND GUARANTEE THE WORKING CONDITIONS OF THEIR EMPLOYEES. IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE AGEC LAW, TO ENSURE TRANSPARENT MONITORING OF OUR MATERIALS AND SUPPLIERS.

AND BECAUSE OUR COMMITMENT DOES NOT STOP AT PRODUCTION, OUR COLLECTION PROGRAMME HAS ENABLED MORE THAN 2305 KILOS OF USED PRODUCTS TO BE GIVEN A NEW LIFE THROUGH OUR FRENCH AND ITALIAN PARTNERS. PROGETTO LANA (ITALY) AND COLLECTIVE CASHMERE LAB, A SOCIAL AND SOLIDARITY ECONOMY (SSE) ORGANISATION THAT SORTS THE COLLECTED PIECES AND SENDS THEM TO LA FILATURE DU PARC, WHERE THEY ARE RECYCLED INTO YARN, READY TO BE USED AGAIN IN NEW CREATIONS.

A CIRCULAR AND VIRTUOUS LOOP THAT GIVES MEANING TO THE PRESERVATION OF MATERIALS AND RESOURCES.
