About I Love Cashmere

At ILC we are passionate about cashmere and as such are dedicated to making superb quality cashmere clothing that you will love all year long.

We understand our cashmere as we wear it regularly. We do not want to wear bad quality cashmere, and we do not want our customers to wear it either. (We've sampled a lot so we know the difference.) Whilst our cashmere is certainly not the cheapest you will find, it is probably the least expensive for the fabulous quality provided.

We treat our customers the way we like to be treated - in a helpful way - so if you are uncertain of anything please ask us. If there is something you would like but it is not available in your size please tell us and if we can get it made up for you we will.

About Our Cashmere Yarn:
Our cashmere tops are made from fabulous grade A 100% cashmere yarn which is sourced from an international company who guarantee the authenticity and quality of all their cashmere yarn. They are renowned in the trade for providing superb yarns that offer all the qualities you would expect from the best cashmere, in particular exceptional durability and remarkably little pilling (bobbles). They are fully accredited by the DWI as a Premium Quality Cashmere Spinner. DWI is recognised by cashmere manufacturers worldwide as the pioneer of the IWTO Cashmere Test, one of the most rigorous in the industry. Basically this means that all their cashmere yarn is certified as pure, and whilst costing more than regular yarn, means that we are able to provide our customers with clothes made from a truly excellent product.

The spinners are also certified to the Oeko-Tex Standard 100. The Oeko-Tex system assures that textiles which have been tested successfully and awarded a certificate are free of concentrations of harmful substances which are detrimental to health and the environment.

This yarn is pure Mongolian Cashmere, which is recognised as the world's most luxurious and coveted natural fibre. Our cashmere yarn is made from the highest grade of fibres. Mongolian Cashmere is a pure product, with unique properties offering exceptional warmth, lightness, softness and durability combined with a lustre of colour that only cashmere from this region can attain.

About Our Cashmere Manufacturing:
Our garments are all made to a high standard by family managed businesses in Kathmandu, Nepal where the employees enjoy good working and living conditions and are well paid with holidays etc. The spacious office type rooms where our garments are knitted are light and airy, with lovely views from the many windows! The Nepalese people making our garments are warm and friendly, smartly dressed and the managers speak very good English.

The manufacturing of cashmere clothing is a specialist business, so we choose to work with skilled people who understand the special properties of this wonderful yarn. As you will appreciate our cashmere yarn is very expensive and we do not want a lot of wastage due to incompetence.

Nepal is of course home to the highest mountain on the planet - Mount Everest, as well as the highly regarded Gurkhas whose bravery and tenacity is beyond dispute. (Well done to Joanna Lumley, who we supported in her work for the Gurkha Justice Campaign).

Typical Testamonials:
From Catherine in Phoenix, Arizona (USA) - "You and your company are simply the best I have ever experienced. Thank you! And when our economy picks up, I will of course order more."

From Angeliki in Leeds - "And thank you once again for your professional, friendly and helpful attitude! This is by far the best customer service I have received in a long time !"
