Understanding Cashmere Care

Fine fibres respond best to gentle handling.

Cashmere fibres are naturally fine and delicate. Unlike synthetic materials designed for frequent washing, cashmere benefits from thoughtful care. At CLÉ LUXE MODE, caring for clothing is part of appreciating the natural materials behind it.

  • Read the garment care label before any cleaning method.
  • Use cool or lukewarm water and a mild detergent for delicate fabrics.
  • Avoid rubbing, twisting, stretching, wringing, and direct heat.

How To Store Cashmere

Fold, do not hang.

Store clean, dry cashmere in a way that supports its shape and allows the material to breathe.

  • Fold cashmere neatly.
  • Use a breathable garment bag.
  • Keep away from direct sunlight.
  • Avoid sealed plastic containers.
  • Use natural moth protection when needed, without direct contact.
How Often Should You Wash Cashmere?

Wash only when necessary.

Cashmere does not need washing after every wear. Fewer, careful cleaning cycles help reduce unnecessary wear.

  • Air cashmere after wearing.
  • Allow the garment to rest between wears.
  • Clean when the care label and garment condition indicate it is needed.
