Made from the softest wool, this delicate, high-quality piece calls for special attention, so handle with care. Maintain its silky-smooth feel by hand washing only. Store folded and avoid any rough or raised surfaces. With the right TLC, your cashmere garment is a premium piece made to last a lifetime.

Good news, you can skip the dry cleaners. When it comes to maintaining the quality of your premium piece, it's all about hand washing in tepid water. Think like Goldilocks: not too hot, not too cold. Add a gentle detergent and gently wash for a few minutes without soaking. Rinse with cold water, but don't wring your garment. Dry it flat in the shade, avoiding sunlight.

Hot tip: Don't wash your cashmere after every wear as this can alter the fibres. Keep it to a minimum. If that means taking it off before eating the pasta, so be it.
