From the Journal
Cashmere: what grade actually means
Grade A, two-ply, Mongolian. A plain guide to the words on the label and the ones that matter.
Read the story01 — Material
The fiber comes first
European flax, full-grain hides, long-staple cashmere, mulberry silk. If the material isn't right, nothing else matters.
02 — Make
Built, not assembled
Stitched soles, hand-burnished edges, honest weights. We look for construction details that show up years later.
03 — Design
Quiet, and lasting
Shapes and colors you'll still want in ten years. No logos, no trends, no filler.
