KNOW YOUR CASHMERE


Ayesha Cashmere Luxury Scarves

WHAT IS CASHMERE?

Cashmere is the wool obtained from the fine inner coat of hair of the Capra Hircus goat.  These goats are found at very high altitudes of 12,000 to 14,000 feet in the Himalayas and survive harsh winters by developing a fine undercoat. This delicate cashmere with a thickness of 15 microns  is luxuriously soft and light; warm during winters and cool during spring. Cashmere is long lasting, travels well and becomes softer with age.

DO CHECK THE LABEL

The label is an important indication of the purity of the cashmere garment. Reputed brands will always provide information on whether a product is “100% cashmere” or a blend of other fibres. In terms of texture, there is nothing softer than 100% cashmere. While silk blends well with cashmere and gives the product a sheen and a heavier drape, the label should also specify the composition of the silk and cashmere mix. At AYESHA CASHMERE, most of our scarves are 100% cashmere, either woven or knitted. We also offer a unique 50% cashmere- 50% linen weave that has a soft and textured feel and flow. For our embroidered shawls, we use a heavier base of 70% cashmere and 30% silk. 

HOW DOES ONE CARE FOR A CASHMERE GARMENT

Cashmere products by AYESHA are delicate luxury items.  Professional dry cleaning is recommended and the scarves should be stored flat when not in use. Every  scarf by AYESHA CASHMERE comes with an elegant storage bag.
