Cashmere Weather

Today's outfit is courtesy of Carriage Trade - my favourite boutique in the Kingsway. I love cashmere, it's soft and warm. Not all cashmere is created equal, and just because it's expensive (Velvet) doesn't make it better then affordable cashmere (Costco). Now that being said Magaschoni cashmere is soft, a quality weight and an investment. I am wearing a cashmere Magaschoni cardigan and it is divine. The colours are vibrant and will carry through the years. If you have budgeted for a luxury cashmere sweater I would recommend this brand.

Carriage Trade carries quality cashmere brands (another example is Autumn Cashmere), Nori (the owner) is diligent about bringing quality cashmere pieces to her customers. She and her staff really taught me the difference in cashmere's and I have a much better appreciation because of them.

  1. Love the colours! While I like the softness of Cashmere, I hate that it pills. I prefer Merino wool because it offers lightweight warmth, it is not itchy, and no pilling.

  5. Gorgeous colours. That cardigan is really lovely on you. I'm a big cashmere fan. As I suffer from psoriasis, lots of other wool mixes irritate my skin, so cashmere is the perfect choice.

    1. Made the change...I knew that. I was so worried about spelling Magaschoni I didn't check the much easier brand.
