6 reasons why cashmere is more expensive than gold
When you hear the word cashmere, what comes to mind? Refinement, luxury, incredible comfort? But why are cashmere pieces so expensive that their price often surpasses even gold jewelry? Is it worth investing in this material or is it just a fad? Let's take a closer look at what makes cashmere so special and why we pay more for it than regular wool products.
1. A rare breed
Cashmere is obtained from the undercoat of Kashmiri goats, which are only found in limited numbers in the mountainous regions of Mongolia. These goats are not common farm animals, they are a rare breed that survives in harsh conditions, which contributes to the uniqueness of their wool.
2. Limited production
Each cashmere goat produces only about 150 grams of usable cashmere per year. Therefore, 3-5 cashmere goats are used for one sweater , dress or sweatpants . When we compare this to the average sheep, which produces up to 3,000 grams of wool per year, it becomes clear why cashmere is so rare.
3. Difficult collection
Collecting cashmere is a painstaking and time-consuming process. It requires the wool to be gently combed and cleaned to remove natural oils and impurities, ensuring that only the finest fibers make it into production.
4. Color is decisive
The color of the cashmere goat's coat plays an important role in the price of the material. Brown or gray cashmere is particularly prized because it requires less dyeing, thus retaining more softness and reducing the risk of damage during the dyeing process.
5. Sustainability
Cashmere is a renewable and biodegradable material, but the way the cashmere goats are raised and how sustainable the production is can also affect the price. Justlove only works with family breeders who are guaranteed to treat animals ethically.
6. A touch of luxury
In addition to its physical properties, cashmere carries the symbolism of social status and sophistication. It is often seen as a wardrobe investment.
Cashmere offers a softness that is hard to match with other materials. Its exclusivity is the result of a combination of rarity, tradition and an uncompromising emphasis on quality. Do you already own our Miyabi Cashmere Dress , the perfect proof that investing in cashmere pays off?
