Label Text:Luxury entails sensual delight as well as visual excess. A quintessential luxury fabric, cashmere comes from the underdown of the Cashmere goat and is expensive to produce. Today, coarser hairs are often blended with the more refined wools, reducing the cost of cashmere, but also the quality.
