Cashmere Fibre
Traditionally, cashmere is one of the ultra-luxury fibres of the world. We are captivated by the pure beauty and extreme softness of cashmere fibres. Our Cashmere Possum uses only 15.2 micron Mongolian cashmere fibre.
Possum Down
Possum Down is unique in its ability to insulate, it is also impossible to freeze, similar only to the polar bear fur. Possum down is a hollow fibre so traps air inside and insulates the wearer. . Mixed with cashmere, this creates extreme warmth and a silky soft texture.
