How to handle your Cashmere & Fur with care
Cashmere Care Guide
A large part of our collection is crafted from Loro Piana cashmere, celebrated for its exceptional softness, purity, and timeless colour palettes. Each piece is made to accompany you for a lifetime — with the right care.
At Divine Cashmere, we’re often asked: “How should I wash my cashmere?”, “Can I use a washing machine?”, and “What’s the best way to store it?” Our fibre experts have gathered their most trusted care secrets to help you preserve the beauty of your knitwear with confidence and ease. Before caring for any Divine Cashmere garment, always refer to the care label inside your piece.
CARING CASHMERE
Follow these simple steps to care for your Cashmere products, and they will last a lifetime.
1. Comb carefully to remove small balls of fibre from the surface.
2. Gently hand wash the garment with Cashmere shampoo.
3. Reshape the garment and allow it to dry naturally.
4. Store with Cedar Wood Balls in a drawer, storage box or breathable sealed bag.
COMB
After wearing your Cashmere for the first few times, you may find small balls of fibre or 'pills' forming on the surface. These pills are the result of loose fibres tangling together as areas of your garment rub during wear. Use our Pilling Comb to remove them, or gently detach them by hand. Your Cashmere will feel even softer as a result.
GENTLY HANDWASH
Cashmere has natural antibacterial properties and is easier to wash than you might think. We recommend you gently wash your Cashmere knitwear after you have worn it three or four times. You will find specific washing instructions for each product on the care label sewn inside the garment. Hand-wash the item in lukewarm water (35°), using Divine Cashmere's Cashmere Shampoo or a similar mild detergent.
Squeeze the suds gently through the fabric without rubbing, wringing or stretching the garment, then rinse thoroughly in water of the same temperature.
RESHAPE
Dry your freshly washed garment by smoothing it back into shape and placing it flat on a towel. Allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat, such as radiators or sunlight, and do not tumble dry. Once your garment is dry, press lightly with a cool iron.
STORE
To keep your cashmere safe and beautiful for years to come, always store it clean and fully dry. Fold your garments neatly in a cool, dry place — ideally in a breathable cotton bag or drawer lined with natural anti-moth sachets.
If you ever notice a small pull or hole, a skilled local tailor experienced with fine knitwear can easily mend it with care, ensuring your cashmere continues to look and feel divine.
Fur Care Guide
A selection of our pieces are crafted from the finest natural furs, cherished for their warmth, texture, and timeless elegance. When treated with care, these exceptional materials can be enjoyed for generations.
At Divine Cashmere, we’re often asked: “How should I store my fur?”, “What happens if it gets wet?”, and “How often should it be cleaned?”
Our artisans have gathered their most trusted care insights to help you preserve the natural beauty, softness, and lustre of your fur for years to come.
FUR CARE
Follow these simple steps to keep your fur looking luxurious for years:
1. Shake, don’t brush or comb – remove dust and debris gently.
2. Protect from heat and humidity – never leave near heaters or in damp environments.
3. Store properly – use broad-shouldered hangers and breathable garment bags; avoid plastic.
4. Clean professionally – have your fur cleaned at least once a year by a fur specialist.
5. Repair promptly – fix small rips or worn areas immediately to prevent bigger damage.
STORAGE
Hang your fur on a broad, sturdy hanger in a breathable garment bag to maintain its shape. Keep it in a cool, dark place away from sunlight and heat.
MOISTURE
Avoid rain or snow where possible. If your fur becomes damp, gently shake off excess water, reshape it, and allow it to dry naturally. Never expose it to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers. For heavy moisture, take it to a professional cleaner immediately.
SEASONAL CARE
During summer, store your fur in a temperature-controlled environment (ideally 45°F / 7°C and 50% humidity) or a professional fur storage facility.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Do not deep clean your fur at home. Take it to a professional cleaner every 1–2 years to preserve the natural oils and softness. For small stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth — but seek professional care if the mark remains.
REPAIRS
If you notice small tears or cracks, repair them as soon as possible. Choose a seamstress experienced with fur garments to ensure proper care and long-lasting results.
