Not all cashmere is equally luxe—or eco-friendly. But that doesn’t mean you’ll need to spend a fortune to instantly upgrade your wardrobe.

Cashmere is made from the hair of goats living in the Gobi desert, which stretches between Northern China and Mongolia. Hair from the undercoat is used for cashmere clothing, meaning workers have to comb the belly of the goats when they molt to collect the hair and then separate the undercoat hair from the topcoat hair by hand. However, the goats only molt once per year, and because only the undercoat is used, it takes about four goats to make one sweater. The entire process of creating a cashmere sweater means that, from goat to your closet, it can take some serious cash to look and feel good.

However, a handful of brands have found a way to sell cashmere goods at a more attainable price point while following sustainable business practices. Cashmere is an investment; shop the eco-friendly cashmere items below knowing they’ll last season after season.
