A cashmere sweater yes, but not at full price!

Notation of cashmere sweaters. Excerpt from article in December 2009 captial

In this time of balance, perhaps you'll splurge on a cashmere sweater.

Cashmere ... a matter which the gentle dream, and the price cry? Today! Before the "clutches" of Cashmere (BOMPARD, Zadig & Voltaire) whose sweaters entry-level cost € 250, many stores offer sweaters for 2 to 3 times less!
So, during the sales ... you can buy cashmere for 50 or € 60 ... but is it a good deal?

As you will read further in this article (http://www.capital.fr/a-la-une/guide-conso/cachemire-osez-les-prix-casses-464031) , so it's a great deal!

If one believes the textile laboratory Crambési (LTC), have a look at

  • Monoprix, whose sweaters are ranked first with a score of 17/20 for less than € 100 off balances. On an average thickness, they are extremely soft and very resistant to washing and pilling
  • GAP, is second with 15/20 for sweaters to 99 €
  • Celio and Uniqlo ranks well with notes of 13.5 and 12.5 / 20 for sweaters to € 79 off balances.
  • By cons, we will avoid Zadig et Voltaire (whose shapes are similar to Berenice) and Bompard, where it is clear that we will pay "mark" more than the quality of the product!
    And yes, even if we find a pull Zadig to € 50 (which is unlikely), it will store all snobbery to turn to a quality product.

    Let's be smart, let's be smart, we are pleased cashmere!

      A good example confirming that a man must already know chic "chic of man is to leave no marks" ...

      Too bad that you do not mention the "real" specialists manufacturers and distributors of quality cashmere like William Lockie, of Eglin Johnston, Pringle and others ...
      There are cashmere and cashmere, all French brands say to the 100% cashmere are liars on the label "100%". The production of Inner Mongolia cashmere is very low, so it is normal that is expensive.
      These brands have found a way, by getting their cashmere in China, which has nothing to do with real cashmere from Mongolia.
      In addition, it is possible to find on sale at reasonable prices for cashmere at Johnston for example.
      Want cashmere 3 to 60 € a year which will or a cashmere made in Scotland with real cashmere from Mongolia that takes 20 years or more?

      Cheers
