A luxurious feel at an accessible price – that's the promise of 'Cashmere Touch'. But what does this term really mean, and why is this innovative fabric the perfect foundation for your modern men's wardrobe?
At ZUMO we are proud of our collection of sweaters with Cashmere Touch, represented by the popular models BUNKEN, MALTHE-R and LEANDRO. In this guide we explain why this material is the smartest choice for those looking for softness, warmth and convenience.
What is 'Cashmere Touch' and How Does It Work?
Cashmere is known as one of the most luxurious and softest natural wool types in the world. Unfortunately, it is also expensive, delicate and difficult to maintain.
Cashmere Touch is a modern weaving technique in which a mix of high-quality fibers (such as viscose, polyester, nylon and sometimes a small percentage of wool) is processed in such a way that it mimics the unique properties of cashmere:
- The unparalleled softness
- The light, yet insulating warmth
- The supple and non-itchy wearing comfort
This blend results in a yarn that offers the look and feel of cashmere, but eliminates the disadvantages.
The Smart Advantages: Cashmere Touch vs. Pure Cashmere
Choosing Cashmere Touch is choosing Practical Luxury. These are the main advantages compared to a 100% cashmere sweater:
| Advantage | Cashmere Touch (ZUMO) | Pure Cashmere (Traditional) |
|---|---|---|
| Maintenance | Simple (often machine washable on a wool program) | Intensive (usually requires hand washing or dry cleaning) |
| Durability | High wear resistance and retains its shape longer | Can be more sensitive to pilling and wear |
| Cost | Accessible and affordable | Very high price tag |
| Pilling | Less susceptible to pilling due to the strong fiber mix | Can be sensitive to pilling |
In short: Cashmere Touch gives you the luxurious look and wearing comfort, without paying top dollar or worrying about complicated maintenance.
