Company details
Written by the company
Second Cashmere is a place to shop for unique reclaimed, refurbished and reworked cashmere. We’re guided by one simple truth: the rate at which we currently consume just isn’t sustainable. Fast fashion is a major contributor to global warming, loss of habitat, and unethical working conditions around the world and things just can’t continue as they are. Fortunately, there are many ways in which we, as consumers, businesses and communities, can turn this around. One of those ways, our way, involves a shift from sourcing resources from the natural world to waste. We offer an alternative to mass-produced cashmere by reinventing waste cashmere destined for recycling and landfill, to create reclaimed cashmere yarns, original designs and restored cashmere knitwear collections from celebrated brands. Desirable design, deliberate choices. The way we see it, both are possible. So with care and creativity, we want to spearhead a new way to make sustainable, luxury shopping possible. All our collections are 100% cashmere.

Thank you Frances for the wonderful review, it was such a treat to read after the festive break.
Not great quality
I love the idea of the company, it's truly great business to be doing. However, I found the quality of the two jumpers I purchased to be really low. After one wear they're balling and look really old and worn. For £45 each it's not bad, but ideally if I'm buying second hand for that price I want the item to last. There is another company called Nearly New Cashmere that I bought from also and the quality is much better, they have a big blurb on their website about how they only use really high grade cashmere. Not all cashmeres are the same, the quality can differ a lot!

Amazing work
We recently sent Lotti and co. 3 cashmere jumpers to repair and we couldn’t be happier with the results! Absolutely incredible work, our jumpers are like new again. Great, friendly service, great work, great price. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

Thank you so much for the lovely review Gemma! So pleased you're happy with your repaired jumpers - they are honestly so beautiful! We were swooning over them haha!
Very impressed
I don't often write reviews, but wanted to give credit where it's due. I'm concerned about animal welfare and the environmental impact of the fashion industry, so buying recycled and second-hand cashmere makes sense for me. I generally find it hard to find vintage clothes which I like and are affordable. I ordered a beautiful vintage Ballantyne jumper from Second Cashmere which was in great condition and has clearly been skillfully restored, for only £43.80 – a bargain. I also ordered recycled cashmere hand-warmers, which are lovely and soft, and a darning kit. Really pleased with my purchase, which arrived wrapped in tissue paper with dried lavender.
