John Lewis & Partners Premium Cashmere Shawl Cardigan, Grey

Sourced from the Mongolian region recognised for farming the world's best cashmere, this John Lewis & Partners cardigan is constructed in a ribbed knit and features a classic shawl neckline.

Delivered in a smart presentation box, it is the perfect gift for anyone who appreciates the finer things in life.

The very cold conditions on the high Mongolian plateau are just right for the particular types of goats from which our cashmere fibre is collected. Only a limited amount can be collected from each goat per year – approximately 3-4 ounces, normally in the spring time when the goats are moulting. This means a single garment would require the fibres from several goats, making a cashmere a sought after luxury fibre.

Using the longest, finest cashmere fibres, our specialist cashmere spinners use their extensive expertise to twist a finer, softer, more rounded yarn. Garments made from yarn with long thin fibres pill less, and any pilling that may occur will form longer, thinner bobbles which are easy to remove by hand or with a cashmere comb.

We work with our suppliers to ensure they share our values of fairness, transparency, and commitment to high animal welfare and environmental standards.
