Materials
Each element of our business is driven by our fewer, better ethos. Our materials are no exception. Made with quality craftsmanship and designed to last, our fabrics and leathers are sourced responsibly and created by hand.
We made a promise.
In 2020, we made the commitment to achieve 100% sustainably-made products by 2022. In 2019, 73% of our assortment was sustainably-made.
Our progress is already tangible: Today, 96% of our assortment is sustainably made. We are on track to achieve our goal of 100% by next year.
By using higher momme counts (such as 30 mm), our silk outlasts other fabrics on the market.
Washable Silk
Deeply rooted in heritage and tradition, our silk is sourced from China where the fabric was invented nearly 5,000 years ago. Substantial in weight, our silk has a very high momme count, creating a finished product that is durable and luxurious to the touch.

Cashmere
Our cashmere is validated by the highest certifications as sustainably-made.
“Single-origin” means that our cashmere can be traced to a single elevated plateau in Inner Mongolia, where our resilient fibers are found. 100% unblended and unbleached cashmere, our Single-Origin sweaters represent ethical practices and a higher standard of production.
Responsible Cashmere Standard
Our recycled cashmere is made at a family-owned mill that has been in business for over 130 years. Crafted using a composition of at least 95% recycled cashmere, and virgin wool, this material is spun from 100% Post consumer Cashmere. Each sweater is crafted by recycling existing sweaters and breaking them down to countless fibers, which are then washed, treated, and spun into new, high-quality yarns.
