Thick looking Cashmere sweaters from Rag & Bone

The very pretty but oversized Cashmere. I'm used to the thinner kind from QVC Nadaam. Anyway Rag & Bone went in to partnership with a cashmere company called Pierce Brothers. Very thick lux cashmere. Big sweaters with one dress. Obviously more expensive. 100%

Cardigan

Turtle neck

I really like this one...

Like ths one a lot

This one not Cashmere, but Alpaca. I never had one those. But it's pretty

@songbird Love the cardigan, but just hate the dry cleaning. And not to mention, $450. Thanks for sharing.

Years ago, when quality cashmere sweaters were easier to come by than they are now, I bought a multi-ply man's XXL cashmere sweater on clearance at Marshall's. Gray with a large argyle print on the front. I wear it as a tunic with leggings So soft & warm for around the house. My kids hate it. They have their own homes now so they no longer have to hate on what is one of my fave cashmere sweaters.

I have many cashmere sweaters, collected over many years.

I wash them in the machine, gentle cycle, with leftover WEN cleansing conditioner, which I no longer use on my hair. The sweaters come out so soft and smell amazing.

Over the years I've collected the Halogen cashmere sweaters from Nordstrom....on sale. I have crew necks and v necks.,,,black, grey, white and red. Last year I added blush pink. Wow, stepping out there with color. The best thing is they come in petites!!

I don't think they look particularly "thick" -- the ribbed texture just gives them a bit more heft.

They don't look soft and that's the one thing I expect from cashmere

It was on back order but I finally received this today and it's lovely! decadently soft and light weight. I treated myself and happy that I did

I really like this sweater! That and the Alpaca. Thank you for the site. I'm going shopping! I much prefer the thicker, softer cashmere. It's supposed to keep you warm after all. Good alternative to wool.

This 560 grams of Cashmere. Cable style. If brown can be lux, this is it. Color is called Truffle.

The striped sweater is the same price at Rag & Bone $325.00. 424 grams of Cashmere. Price per gram weight ala gold... LOL.

What @Tadaki said ... First you spend big bucks for the sweater, then you pay dry cleaning fees over and over and over again. Beautiful sweaters - thanks for the photos. But cashmere is a "no" for me.

Cashmere is washable. You can hand wash them. All of my Cashmere is. I've had then for years.

Cashmere has been a disappointment for me over the years. My Mom loved it, so she often gave me a sweater at Christmas. They never seemed to fit correctly. My arms are long and the sweaters were always too short on arm length Seems like 2-ply cashmere isn't enough, might as well be wearing a 2-ply tissue paper sweater! Soft yes, fit no.

Yes, we want to see you all decked out in this lovely sweater. I do like your taste in tops!

@songbird Just want to confirm before I try this: does your cashmere say Dry Clean Only and you can hand wash?

Yes! Cashmere is washable. But you have to be careful. Don't put in the gentle cycle of old washing machines, even though some people do. If you have a new generation of washing machines, they can be used on the gentle cycle. I don't, so I have to hand wash them. I use woolite. I hand wash them & lay them flat.
