Any tips to distinguish higher vs lower quality cashmere? Lower quality cashmere pills quickly with the slightest friction. Many cashmere sweaters are on sale now.
Check the ply (2-ply or higher is better), and give it a gentle rub test - cheap cashmere pills super fast. Quality pieces should feel buttery soft but still have some weight to them, not flimsy. And honestly, if the price seems too good to be true (like under $100), it probably is. The good stuff costs more because those premium fibers aren't cheap to source and process. Hope that helps! ✨
I totally get wanting to love such beautiful pieces! Sometimes even when a style element is objectively lovely, it just doesn't feel right for us personally - and that's okay too. Really appreciate you sharing this experience ✨

I had so many Sweaters from Sezane with very wird arms. They are beautiful but don’t look good on me…
