The sample fabric for the pre-order event using the “jewel of fibers,” 100% BABY CASHMERE TSURIAMI loopback, is ready. This year, we took on the challenge of an off-white color. It turned out to be a pretty insane shade—in the best way. BABY CASHMERE is so soft, warm, and gentle to the touch that you might be better off not knowing about it… because once you do, it’s hard to go back. It’s that addictive—a forbidden material, perhaps. Why? Because it’s made exclusively from the very first coat shed naturally by baby cashmere goats less than 12 months old. Hair collection is done every July, but since the goats are typically born between December and April, most are under six months of age, though some are under twelve. The BABY CASHMERE we use is carefully gathered from natural molting only—never forcibly plucked.

The other color is our staple black. This year, we’ve created two new patterns. Instead of the familiar LW223 Standard Fit and LW313 Relaxed Fit, we’ll debut two entirely new designs. Samples are currently in production, so we ask for a little more patience.
