Cashmere sweaters are a very appreciated garment for their softness and warmth, but also for their high price.
Cashmere sweaters purchased by large clothing store chains, often made in emerging countries, obviously cost very little, with an average estimate of 70-80 euros per garment, as discussed in this article "the right price of cashmere".
Certainly, at this price, the item usually does not stand out for melange (mixing of multiple colors) and fulling (garment compactness), two of the peculiarities that instead characterize yarn production in Italian mills.
Knitwear production in Western countries, like Italy, costs more because it involves managing a series of aspects related to ethics and environmental respect: wages and contributions for artisans working in the fashion manufacturing sector, management of licenses and authorizations, general company costs including energy, costs for proper management and disposal of production waste, etc.
Therefore, when it comes to high-quality cashmere sweaters Made in Italy, the price is justified by the origin and processing of the fabric at local mills and the artisanal manufacturing of knitwear in Italian workshops.
On the other hand, cashmere is a precious fiber, with raw material costs averaging around 150 euros per kg, and it requires fine workmanship and attention to detail to enhance its characteristics.
Cashmere sweaters produced in Italy are known for their excellence and attention to detail. Lanaioli is an Italian brand committed to maintaining this tradition by producing garments that last over time.
It falls within our Slow Fashion philosophy: buying fewer but excellently made garments that last for years if well maintained and cared for.
All our garments, like our men's mixed cashmere and silk vest, are a perfect example of how the brand combines Italian tradition with modernity.
The vest is made with fine materials and crafted with artisanal care, making it a luxury garment.
There are also some sustainability policies that our brand has practiced since its inception, selecting not only virgin natural yarns but also those from the circular economy, such as eco-cashmere or regenerated cashmere.
The choice of regenerated yarn allows the recovery of raw materials for the creation of high-end garments with resource savings and lower CO2 emissions.
Our men's cashmere collection and the women's cashmere collection, including the regenerated cashmere one, await you in our online store and in the physical shops of the Lanaioli brand.
