About

A fine-gauge V-neck in 100% cashmere, in a deep grape. Nothing synthetic is blended in for durability, which is unusual at this price and is the difference between a sweater that pills into plastic and one that does not.

Materials

100% cashmere. The brand says the fibre is certified to The Good Cashmere Standard, an animal-welfare scheme rather than a chemical-safety one.

what it is made of

The Elsie Cashmere V-Neck Sweater is made entirely of cashmere. Cashmere is soft goat down that insulates without the plastic of acrylic knits. That composition is what Toxome scores, and it earns 90 out of 100 on the fiber scale, where 100 is cleanest.

FAQ

What is the Elsie Cashmere V-Neck Sweater made of?

It is 100% cashmere.

Is cashmere safe to wear?

Cashmere is soft goat down that insulates without the plastic of acrylic knits. Toxome rates every fiber on what it does to the body of the person wearing it, and publishes the reasoning rather than a badge. The score covers the fiber, not the dyes and finishes a mill adds later.

How does Toxome score clothing?

Toxome reads each garment's fiber composition and scores it on what that fiber does to your body, not on a brand's sustainability marketing. A higher score means a cleaner fiber. Composition is taken from what the brand publishes, so the score reflects the label rather than our opinion of it.
