Lanaioli regenerated cashmere: from recovered cashmere to new yarn
Our regenerated cashmere is a Re.Verso™ yarn, produced for us by Filpucci in Campi Bisenzio (FI): it is made from recovered cashmere material, has GRS certification, and comes from a traceable supply chain. It has the softness of cashmere with a reduced environmental impact.
Quality fashion is not only about fine raw materials and well-made garments, but also about choices that respect the Planet and its resources.
The first step is to use only natural yarns, such as cashmere and merino wool. They cost more than synthetics but last longer, and they promote slow fashion, in which only what is needed is created and purchased.
Regenerated raw materials in high-end fashion too
Since the brand was launched, we have chosen to use regenerated raw materials, with a product line made with the finest yarn: regenerated cashmere.
Cashmere provides comfort, helps maintain a constant body temperature, is breathable and gentle on the skin, so much so that it can be worn directly against the skin.
What cashmere is and where it comes from
Cashmere is obtained by combing the fleece of the Hircus goat, native to the Kashmir region between India and Pakistan. Each goat usually produces around 200 grams per year: such limited supply drives up the price.
Today, the Hircus goat is raised in various parts of the world, far from the Italian companies that produce knitwear. The yarn has to travel long distances to reach manufacturing facilities, generating additional CO2 emissions for each garment.
Regenerated cashmere, a sustainable and ethical choice
That is why we chose regenerated, or recycled, cashmere. It is not a by-product of cashmere, but the result of recovering textile material already made from cashmere, which becomes yarn again instead of turning into waste.
Who produces our regenerated cashmere
Since 2026, we have purchased yarns under the Re.Verso™ brand, an Italian regenerated-material supply chain that guarantees product traceability, GRS certification and LCA analysis. Our partner is Filpucci Spa in Campi Bisenzio (FI), a Tuscan spinning mill that produces the yarns for the Re.Verso™ supply chain.

How cashmere is recovered
The recovered cashmere material is sorted by hand: impurities and anything that is not cashmere are removed, and the material is separated by color. It is then shredded and, through carding similar to that used for virgin cashmere, becomes fiber again.
The fiber is reinforced through twisting and transformed into new regenerated cashmere yarn, ready for high-quality knitwear.
Benefits of regenerated cashmere
Recovering existing cashmere saves water, energy and transport fuel and reduces CO2 emissions compared with producing new fiber. This is why the Re.Verso™ supply chain measures its impact through LCA studies.
