Ailsa | Cashmere Glove – Cardinal Red

Wrist Length. 2 inch glove. This is measured from where the thumb seam meets the wrist, to the opening of the glove.

Our cashmere is one of the true natural luxuries of our age. Combed from the underfleece of goats grazing at altitude in Mongolia, it travels to Scotland and the shores of Loch Leven to be spun into yarn and dyed. The purity and softness of the waters of the Loch are essential to the finish and the process is so natural that the water used can be returned to the Loch. It comes to us in the green hills of Sussex to be cut, sewn and fashioned into simply perfect gloves. For softness, colour and warmth there is no other material on earth that comes close. It is a simple, delightful fabric.

The beauty of cashmere is in its softness — not just in feel, but in temperament. It’s a fibre that settles into your skin over time, growing more supple, more comfortable, more yours with each wear. But with that softness comes sensitivity. Cashmere doesn’t demand, but it does expect patience.

Wash only when needed. Handle gently. Let it dry without rush. In return, it stays with you — light, warm, and quietly luxurious.

Let It Soak

Hand wash in lukewarm water with the mildest soap you have. Let the gloves rest, rinse them slowly, and never wring. Once clean, press them in a towel and reshape while damp. They don’t like heat, they don’t like tension — just time.

Care Method

Wash by hand in lukewarm water with pure soap flakes. Rinse thoroughly, press in a towel to absorb moisture, and dry flat. Reshape gently. Avoid heat, sunlight, or machines.

If Fibres Begin to Dull

If your gloves begin to lose their softness, pill excessively, or shrink, a knitwear specialist can refresh the surface and recover shape without weakening the fibres.
