Cashmere sweaters are a very popular item of clothing for their softness and warmth, but also for their high price.
The cashmere sweaters that are purchased by large clothing store chains, often made in emerging countries, obviously cost very little, with an average estimate of 70-80 euros per item, as was discussed in this article " the right price of cashmere ."
Of course, at this price it is usually an article that does not stand out for its melange (mixing of multiple colors) and fulling (compactness of the garment), two of the peculiarities that, instead, distinguish the production of yarn in Italian wool mills.
The production of knitwear in Western countries, such as in Italy, costs more because a series of aspects linked to ethics and respect for the environment are managed: salaries and contributions of the artisans who work in the manufacturing of the fashion sector, management of licenses and authorizations, general company costs including energy costs, costs for the management and correct disposal of processing waste, etc.
Therefore, when it comes to high-quality, Made in Italy cashmere sweaters, the price is justified by the origin and processing of the fabric in local wool mills and the artisanal processing of the knitwear in Italian workshops.
On the other hand, cashmere is a fine fibre, which costs only the raw material on average around 150 euros per kg and which requires fine workmanship and attention to detail to enhance its characteristics.
Cashmere sweaters made in Italy are known for their excellence and attention to detail. Lanaioli is an Italian brand that is committed to maintaining this tradition, producing clothing that lasts over time.
It is part of our Slow Fashion philosophy: buying less but well-made garments that last for years, if well cared for and cared for.

The vest is made with fine materials and crafted with artisanal care, which makes it a luxury item of clothing.
There are also some sustainability policies that our brand has also been practicing since its inception, selecting in addition to virgin natural yarns, also those from the circular economy, such as eco-cashmere or regenerated cashmere.
