What material is this top made from?

This top is crafted from 100% pure cashmere, sourced from the high plateaus of Inner Mongolia. The fibers are exceptionally fine, ensuring a soft and delicate feel against the skin. We use only A-grade fibers that are plant-dyed for a rich, lasting color.

What is the story behind the design?

The design is conceived as a wearable piece of art, reminiscent of a traditional landscape painting. The flowing tassels evoke the movement of water, while the textured jacquard knit represents the serene form of mountains. A single, handcrafted frog button at the neckline adds a subtle touch of heritage.

How should I care for this cashmere top?

To maintain the beauty of your cashmere piece, we recommend professional dry cleaning. Alternatively, you can hand wash it in cold water with a specialized cashmere detergent, gently squeezing out excess water without wringing. Lay it flat to dry on a towel, away from direct sunlight or heat.

What is the fit like?

This piece is designed for a relaxed and comfortable fit, draping elegantly on the body. Its versatile silhouette makes it easy to style for various occasions, either on its own or as a layering piece. Please refer to our detailed size guide for specific measurements.

Is this top available for immediate shipping?

This piece is made to order to ensure the highest quality and will be ready in 7-10 days. Each order is presented in our signature gift box as part of the SELVANE Art of Gifting experience. We also offer lifetime care services to help you preserve your garment for years to come.

Details

Vertical openness within relaxed volume

The Silhouette

The silhouette falls loosely with volume centered through the body. A subtle V-shaped opening elongates the frame, creating visual lightness. Wide sleeves introduce movement, balancing ease with quiet structure.

Rhythm shaped through volume and opening

The Construction

The front opening is resolved with restraint, allowing space and air within the form. Sleeves extend fluidly from the body, minimizing structural interruption. Construction is guided by volume and negative space, resulting in a calm, relaxed presence.

Availability: InStock

SELVANE works long-term with traceable ranch partners across Mongolia and Inner Mongolia. Our primary sourcing region is Alxa (Inner Mongolia).

Wind and temperature shifts shape a denser undercoat—light, yet naturally warm. We harvest only between March and May, in harmony with the goats’ natural shedding cycle.

Beyond standard testing, we verify wear-feel at the garment level.

Any lot that fails to deliver coat-grade structure is not used—even from the same origin.

Standard

Fineness

14.5–15.5 µm

Ultra-fine. Rarely specified.

Fineness (SFA / fiber diameter)

Cashmere commonly measures 15–19 µm; “superfine” can reach ~14 µm. For SELVANE, we specify 14.5–15.5 µm—a tighter, finer band selected for a cleaner hand feel and controlled drape.

Length

Longer than 3.6 cm

Anti-pilling: Grade 4–5 (ISO 12945-2 / Martindale).

Length & Anti-pilling (ISO 12945-2 / Martindale)

We select Grade-A long fibers ≥ 3.6 cm (36 mm) and test pilling under ISO 12945-2 (Martindale). Performance reaches Grade 4–5—Grade 5 shows virtually no visible change, while Grade 4 may show slight fuzz or localized pilling.

Clarity

5 -step deep cleansing

Fiber-safe cleansing for high purity and low residue.

Cleanliness (dehairing & impurity removal)

Fibers are opened and purified before spinning, then gently washed in multiple stages (at least 3 gentle washes, including degreasing and repeated rinsing). Water temperature, time, and mechanical action are controlled to avoid damage or felting. After pH stabilization and low-temperature drying, each lot is re-checked for cleanliness, residual oil, and loft recovery—so cashmere stays light, warm, and soft, while still supporting a coat silhouette.

Yarn Twist

At least 900 TPM(Twist per meter)

High-twist yarn for long-term stability and clean line.

Yarn Structure & Density

We select Grade-A long fiber ≥ 36 mm and set a high twist at ≥ 900 T/m (twist per meter). Higher twist tightens fiber cohesion to help reduce fuzz and pilling, while improving long-term wear stability—especially important for maintaining a coat silhouette over time.

Atelier Proof

Spinning

Developed with Consinee, one of the world’s leading cashmere spinners and a long-standing supplier to leading international luxury houses, using a custom yarn specification tailored to SELVANE’s standards for structure and hand feel.

Knitting

Built exclusively on top-tier flat knitting systems—STOLL (Germany) and SHIMA SEIKI (Japan). We knit slow for density and precision: about 60 runs/min on the needle bed (vs. ~150 runs/min on typical machines), creating a calmer surface and more controlled shrink.

Dye & finish

A gentler, plant-based dyeing and skin-friendly finishing route to preserve fiber character and improve comfort against skin.

Pre-shrink Finishing

Each piece is pre-washed and conditioned at least 3 times before it leaves our atelier. This helps stabilize the fabric—helps reduce post-wash shrinkage and keep sizing more consistent over time.

Hand techniques

Crochet, embroidery, burn-out, cutwork, and ink-wash effects are executed by 200+ in-house artisans, many with 30+ years of experience.

Lifetime Care & Free Repair Support

Care & Shape Support

When cared for in accordance with our guidance and suitable cleaning methods, cashmere is designed to maintain its integrity. If shape issues occur after cleaning, we can offer inspection and reshaping support where applicable.

Accidental Damage Support

For everyday incidents—such as localized stains or minor snags/scratches—we will assess and provide the most feasible repair treatment. For extensive or irreversible damage, we will advise the best alternative solution and clarify any applicable costs.

*Please note: Lifetime support does not imply unconditional complimentary service. Service scope and any applicable charges will be determined upon assessment and confirmed accordingly.

Single-Piece Made-to-Order

Simply place an order for one piece, and we can tailor key measurements to your personal dimensions (e.g., sleeve length, coat length, and proportions) while preserving the original silhouette.

Each order is confirmed with you before production.

If you’d like to begin, contact our Client Concierge with your preferred style and measurements; we’ll guide the options, timeline, and final confirmation.
