AT ABSOLUT CASHMERE, WE BELIEVE IN FASHION DESIGNED TO LAST. PIECES TO KEEP, TO PASS ON, TO WEAR SEASON AFTER SEASON, WITHOUT EVER GROWING TIRED OF THEM. THIS VISION DRIVES OUR COMMITMENT: TO CREATE COLLECTIONS THAT ARE EVER MORE DURABLE, REFINED, AND RESPECTFUL OF OUR ENVIRONMENT. TODAY, WE MOVE FORWARD FOR TOMORROW, WITH STYLE, WITH PURPOSE.

DRIVEN BY A PASSION FOR CASHMERE, JEAN PASCAL CANDAU AND OLIVIER CRIQ FOUNDED THE MCC GROUP IN 1998 WITH ONE CLEAR BELIEF: TO OFFER THE VERY BEST CASHMERE, YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE SOURCE.

OUR PRODUCTION IS ROOTED AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE SOURCE OF THE FIBRES, MAINLY IN CHINA, SO WE REMAIN CONNECTED TO THE RAW MATERIALS AND ENSURE A FULLY CONTROLLED MANUFACTURING PROCESS. WE WORK HAND IN HAND WITH CAREFULLY SELECTED MANUFACTURERS, RECOGNISED FOR THEIR EXCEPTIONAL KNOW-HOW, WITH WHOM WE HAVE BUILT LONG-STANDING RELATIONSHIPS OVER THE YEARS.

BEHIND EVERY MATERIAL LIES A PARTICULAR ATTENTION: THE CASHMERE YARN IS CAREFULLY CONTROLLED
FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, ENSURING THE QUALITY THAT CAN BE FOUND IN EVERY PIECE.

FOR 27 YEARS, THE MCC GROUP HAS REFINED A UNIQUE MASTERY OF FULLY-FASHIONED KNITWEAR, AN EXACTING TECHNIQUE WHERE EACH PIECE IS SHAPED STITCH BY STITCH, WITH PRECISION AND INTENTION. THIS CRAFTSMANSHIP FINDS ITS ORIGIN AT THE VERY
HEART OF CASHMERE’S BIRTHPLACE: INNER MONGOLIA, CHINA. IN THIS ANCESTRAL LAND, HIRCUS GOATS ARE RAISED IN VAST LANDSCAPES, PRODUCING A PRECIOUS DOWN THAT GIVES RISE TO SOME OF THE FINEST FIBRES IN THE WORLD.

IN PARIS, OUR DESIGN STUDIO, COMPOSED OF KNITWEAR SPECIALISTS, BRINGS THIS HERITAGE TO LIFE WITH EACH NEW COLLECTION, ENSURES CREATIVITY WHILE STAYING TRUE TO THE ABSOLUT CASHMERE DNA IN EVERY NEW COLLECTION.

IN ORDER TO ENSURE BOTH THE TRACEABILITY OF OUR MATERIALS AND THE COMFORT OF OUR PIECES, WE FAVOR NOBLE FIBERS 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 HELP EVOLVE THEIR PRACTICES AND REDUCE OUR IMPACT.

IN THIS APPROACH, EVERY PIECE IS DESIGNED AS A WHOLE, FROM THE VERY FIRST SKETCH TO ITS FINAL DELIVERY. WE ARE GRADUALLY INCORPORATING RECYCLED MATERIALS INTO OUR PACKAGING AND ENSURING THAT DELIVERIES TO OUR PARIS BOUTIQUES ARE MADE USING ELECTRIC VEHICLES, AS PART OF A MORE RESPONSIBLE APPROACH.

REPAIR WITH TILLI
ALLOWING YOU TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR PIECES IS A KEY PART OF OUR COMMITMENT. IN COLLABORATION WITH TILLI, WE HAVE DEVELOPED A DEDICATED REPAIR SERVICE TO RESTORE DAMAGED GARMENTS, OFFER THEM A SECOND LIFE, AND EXTEND THEIR STORY, SO
THEY MAY CONTINUE TO BE WORN, CHERISHED, AND PASSED ON.

SECOND HAND
WITH PARADIGME, WE MAKE IT EASIER TO RESELL YOUR PRE-OWNED GARMENTS, EXTENDING THEIR LIFE AND CONTINUING THE STORY THEY CARRY. EACH PIECE MOVES FORWARD—INTO NEW WARDROBES, NEW LIVES, NEW HANDS — REMAINING CHERISHED AS IT EVOLVES. YOU ARE OFFERED A VOUCHER TO EXPLORE OUR COLLECTIONS, OR THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHOOSE FROM PRE-LOVED PIECES, EMBRACING A MORE CIRCULAR WAY OF ENGAGING WITH FASHION. GARMENTS ARE NOT ENDED; THEY ARE CONTINUED, REINTERPRETED, AND KEPT IN MOTION.

STANDING WITH WOMEN
OUR COMMITMENT EXTENDS FAR BEYOND OUR COLLECTIONS. DRIVEN BY THE DESIRE TO SUPPORT MEANINGFUL INITIATIVES THAT UPLIFT WOMEN IN NEED, WE HAVE PROUDLY SUPPORTED ROSEUP FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS DURING BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH. DEDICATED TO SUPPORTING WOMEN AFFECTED BY ALL TYPES OF CANCER, THE ASSOCIATION REFLECTS A SHARED COMMITMENT TO SOLIDARITY, HELPING ADVANCE RESEARCH WHILE STRENGTHENING SUPPORT SYSTEMS FOR WOMEN FACING THE DISEASE. THROUGH ITS
INITIATIVES, ROSEUP PROVIDES EVERYDAY SUPPORT BY GIVING ACCESS TO TRUSTED INFORMATION, DEDICATED RESOURCES, AND SPACES FOR CONNECTION AND MUTUAL SUPPORT. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO WORKS TO IMPROVE WOMEN’S QUALITY OF LIFE DURING AND AFTER
TREATMENT, WHILE AMPLIFYING THEIR VOICES WITH THE WIDER PUBLIC AND NSTITUTIONS.

FOR THE MCC GROUP, CSR IS A COLLECTIVE EFFORT.

IN 2023, WE CARRIED OUT OUR FIRST CARBON ASSESSMENT IN ORDER TO GAIN A CLEARER UNDERSTANDING OF OUR CLIMATE
IMPACT AND GUIDE OUR FUTURE ACTIONS.

IN 2026, WE ARE RENEWING THIS EXERCISE WITH THE SUPPORT OF AN EXPERT PLATFORM IN THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY, WITH
THE AIM OF DEFINING OUR NEW DECARBONISATION TRAJECTORY.

TRACEABILITY IS A KEY PRIORITY FOR US. WE WORK WITH THE TRACE FOR GOOD PLATFORM, WHICH ALLOWS US TO PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY ON THE COUNTRIES INVOLVED AT EACH STAGE OF PRODUCTION, INCLUDING KNITTING, DYEING, AND GARMENT ASSEMBLY. ON OUR SIDE, THIS TRACEABILITY HELPS US BETTER UNDERSTAND AND MAP OUR SUPPLY CHAIN, AND ENSURE FAIR WORKING CONDITIONS FOR THE PEOPLE INVOLVED.

IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE FRENCH AGEC LAW , WE ENSURE TRANSPARENT MONITORING OF OUR MATERIALS AND SUPPLIERS.

BEYOND PRODUCTION, OUR COMMITMENTCONTINUES THROUGH OUR COLLECTION PROGRAMME, WHICH HAS ENABLED US TO RECOVER AND GIVE A SECOND LIFE TO OVER 2,305 KILOGRAMS OF USED PRODUCTS, IN COLLABORATION WITH OUR FRENCH AND ITALIAN PARTNERS: PROGETTO LANA (ITALY) AND COLLECTIVE CASHMERE LAB, A SOCIAL AND SOLIDARITY ECONOMY (SSE) ORGANISATION THAT SORTS COLLECTED PIECES BEFORE SENDING THEM TO FILATURES DU PARC, WHERE THEY ARE TRANSFORMED INTO NEW YARNS, READY TO BE REUSED IN FUTURE CREATIONS.

A CIRCULAR AND VIRTUOUS LOOP THAT EMBODIES OUR APPROACH TO PRESERVING MATERIALS AND RESOURCE.
