Cashmere: A Precious Textile that Loves Water

Cashmere is a natural fiber derived from the soft, fluffy fleece of the cashmere goat, renowned for its exceptional softness and insulating warmth. One of the surprising aspects of cashmere is that, contrary to popular belief, it loves water. In fact, the more you wash your cashmere sweater from the outset and regularly thereafter, the longer it will last. If pilling appears, don't hesitate to remove it, so regular care will ensure the longevity of your favorite sweater.

Care for your Cashmere Sweater with our special shampoo

To effectively wash your cashmere sweater by hand or machine, we recommend using a special cashmere shampoo. This type of shampoo is specially formulated to gently clean wool fibers without damaging them, preserving their softness and shine. Add a small amount of Mahogany shampoo to a basin of cold or lukewarm water (no more than 30 degrees) if you're hand-washing your cashmere sweater, or one or two capfuls to the detergent dispenser if you're machine-washing. There's no need to add fabric softener - Mahogany's special cashmere detergent will do the trick.

Unpilling a Cashmere Sweater with our Anti-Pilling Wooden Comb

Pilling is a natural phenomenon that can occur with cashmere in areas of friction. To remove pilling from your cashmere sweater, use our anti-pilling wooden comb. This comb is designed to gently remove pilling without damaging the fibers. Simply run the comb gently over the affected areas, taking care not to pull or stretch the fabric. We invite you to do this before or after each wash, if necessary, and you'll find that over time, pilling will disappear for good.
