exceptional cashmere
our design studio is based in amsterdam.our production is handled in china, where we’ve spent 25 years building relationships with the best makers in the business. our own team, on location, gives us access to the finest yarns and allows us to make the best garments of the highest quality.
we source our cashmere from goats that live in the mountainous regions of inner mongolia, where winters are extreme and summers intense. it’s these conditions that produce the longest, most ideal fibers — taken from the neck and abdomen when the goats shed their winter coats. fibers this resilient make for cashmere that holds up over time, wash after wash.
you can recognize our garments by the hand-embroidered flag detail on the cuff or hem — a small marker that tells you which colors are available in that style, in that edition.
“the reason why extreme cashmere exists — and why the product is so good — is because of the people we work with,” says founder saskia dijkstra. our made in china campaign is a love letter to exactly those people: the makers in hangzhou whose expertise and craftsmanship make extreme cashmere what it is.
extreme cashmere garments come in different fabrications:
100% cashmere
these garments are made from 100% cashmere — a remarkably versatile knit that ranges from the lightest styles, like the little 2, to our heaviest, warmest sweaters, like the oversize xtra. explore the quality here.
summer cashmere
our summer cashmere is a featherlight 100% cashmere, loosely knit for an airier feel and sheerer look. it’s just the thing for warmer days. explore it here.
wool cashmere
our wool cashmere blends 70% merino wool with 30% cashmere for a soft knit that's finer than our signature cashmere. slightly sheer and lighter in weight, it’s perfect as an elegant evening piece and works across seasons, including summer. explore it here.
double-faced cashmere
our double-faced quality is a 70% wool, 30% cashmere blend, woven on special looms, fusing two layers of tightly knit cashmere. structured yet comfortable, it has a lightweight feel — no lining required. our double-faced styles are largely handmade. explore them here.
