DISCOVER BABY CASHMERE

Cashmere is rightly considered one of the most luxurious materials in the world. However, there is a category that takes softness, fineness and exclusivity to a whole new level – baby cashmere. In this article, you will learn what makes baby cashmere different from regular cashmere, and why it is considered the absolute pinnacle of luxury.

What is baby cashmere?

Cashmere comes from the undercoat of the Kashmiri goat, which is mainly bred in Mongolia, China and Nepal. This material is valued for its extraordinary softness, lightness and ability to keep you warm. Even regular cashmere is a symbol of luxury, but baby cashmere surpasses it. Baby cashmere is obtained exclusively from the first combing of young Kashmiri goats, at the age of approximately six months. These unique fibers are extremely fine, soft and also rare - each young goat will provide only 30 grams of baby cashmere at the first combing.

What makes baby cashmere different?

1. Fiber fineness
   The main difference between baby cashmere and regular cashmere is the thickness of the fibers. Baby cashmere has a fiber diameter of 13.5 microns, while regular cashmere has a fiber diameter of 15-15.5 microns. This fineness makes baby cashmere incredibly soft and pleasant to the touch, which makes it a completely unique material.
2. Warmth
   Both types of cashmere have excellent insulating properties, but baby cashmere, thanks to its finer fibers, provides a slightly higher level of thermal comfort. It will envelop you in absolute comfort and warmth on cold winter days.
3. Exclusivity
   Baby cashmere is rare, and this limited availability is reflected in its price. Baby cashmere products are significantly more expensive, but their exclusivity makes them a special item, sought after by those who seek the best.

How to properly care for cashmere?

To keep your cashmere garments in perfect condition for as long as possible, they require gentle care. It is recommended to:

• Washing : Hand wash in mild detergent or professional dry cleaning.
• Storage : Store in a cool, dry place, ideally using protective packaging and mothproofing. Remember that no cashmere should be hung.
  

Which one to choose?

Baby cashmere offers unsurpassed softness, exceptional warmth and a luxurious feel. It is the ideal choice for those looking for something truly special. On the other hand, regular cashmere remains a great alternative - it still provides luxury, softness and warmth, with a slightly higher resistance to wear.

Which JUSTLOVE products are made from baby cashmere?

For example, the "spider" scarves of Sagarmatha . They are so delicate that during production the fibers must be wrapped in beeswax to prevent damage. This is removed in the final stage of production. It is a long process, but it has its own beautiful story. The scarves are very light and thin, but they will certainly keep you warm! They are suitable for year-round wear. In the summer you can simply fold them into a handbag and wear them on cooler summer evenings.

Whether you choose baby cashmere or regular cashmere, you are investing in a timeless piece that will bring you comfort, elegance and warmth for many years.
