Baby Cashmere by Loro Piana
For the ultimate cashmere lovers, the tailors of Possen Made-to-Fit Fashion discovered the new frontier: baby cashmere by Loro Piana!
In the mountainous regions of Inner Mongolia, our most favourite weaver Loro Piana discovered baby cashmere: a rare and precious fibre exclusively obtained from the underfleece of the Hyrcus goat kid. It is gathered by means of a delicate and completely harmless procedure done only once in a goat´s life, when it is between three and twelve months old.
Loro Piana Baby Cashmere is available via Possen Made-to-Fit Fashion in extremely limited quantities: one kid produces barely 80 grams of the softest undefleece which, once the coarser outer fibres have been discarded, results in just 30-40 grams of useable fibre and it takes the underfleece of 19 kids to make just one pullover.
What we think of this as cashmere-lovers? As long as this wonderful product is gathered in a responsible manner and as long as the shepherds can guarantee that their herds live in the proper natural way on the steppes of Inner Mongolia, we just can´t get enough!
