WASH
Our 100% Cariaggi cashmere is obtained from Mongolian goat hair and is suitable for washing in water, both by hand (recommended option) and in the washing machine. However, if your cashmere item has stains, dry cleaning is the preferable option. Always remember to turn the garment inside out to protect it. To hand wash, use cold water and a mild detergent. Alternatively, you can also use a baby shampoo to keep the fiber extremely soft. Wash the item carefully and then rinse it well to remove all soap residue. If you prefer to use the washing machine, make sure you select the delicate cycle, the wool cycle or hand wash, at a maximum temperature of 30°C. Use a short cycle and low spin. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents that could damage the cashmere fiber.

DRYING
​​​​​​​After washing, remove excess water from the garment by gently rolling it in a towel. Next, lay the product out on a flat surface and let it dry at room temperature, avoiding direct exposure to sunlight. This will help maintain the shape and softness of your cashmere. If necessary, you can iron the garment at a low temperature using a protective cloth to avoid damage to the fiber. By following these simple instructions, you will be able to enjoy the beauty and softness of your 100% Cariaggi cashmere for a long time.

The fundamental rule for storing cashmere is to fold the garment rather than hanging it, since hanging could alter its shape. When the garment is not used for a prolonged period, it is advisable to place it in a dustproof bag in order to protect it from insects, for this reason we recommend keeping the pack with which the product will arrive, created specifically for the conservation of your cashmere.

To remove any creases, turn the garment inside out and proceed to iron at low temperature, placing a cloth between the cashmere and the iron. Never iron directly on the garment. Pilling is common in cashmere fabrics due to the shorter fibers compared to wool. When this starts to become noticeable, you can easily remove it using a cashmere-specific comb.

To carry out this operation, it is advisable to spread the shirt on a hard, flat surface, then brush from top to bottom with short movements, applying moderate pressure. This process will make the garment appear as if it were new. After the first pilling removal session, the fabric will tend to form fewer knots, but it is still a good practice to repeat this operation once a season.

The garment will be delivered in 10 days, a period that includes the time necessary to carefully and carefully create every detail of your handcrafted product. It is a necessary wait to ensure that your garment is of impeccable quality and meets your expectations to the fullest. Patience will be rewarded with a unique and extraordinary product.
