About Us
At ILC we are passionate about cashmere and as such are dedicated to making superb quality cashmere clothing. 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, so whatever we can do to make your cashmere experience a pleasant one, please let us know.
Testamonial: 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."
Testamonial: 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 !"
We have put a colour collection search facility on the website, so those of you who know you want your cashmere in a pastel shade for example, can simply use our quick filter to see all the pastel shades we have and which designs they are available in. The filter is accessible in all garment sections: Women's Cashmere, Men's Cashmere and Cashmere Accessories.
Our garments are all made 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 friendly and very hard working, and the managers speak very good English. 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).
Our cashmere tops are made (unless otherwise described) from fabulous grade A, 100% cashmere, pre-dyed yarns. These are sourced from an international company who guarantee the authenticity and quality of all their cashmere yarn. They are renowned in the trade for providing the most 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 retailers 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.
