In the same way a good grape needs a good wine maker to turn it into a vintage, the fibre itself is useless without the skills and experience needed to turn the raw material into quality knitwear. This rare and delicate fibre requires special attention to manufacture it to the quality and lasting build which makes a good cashmere garment differentiate itself from another. Not all cashmere garments are the same.
Half way around the world the cashmere fibre is transformed in Scotland where the cashmere mills have over two centuries of experience in producing the finest cashmere sweaters one can buy. From the late 19th century to the 1920`s the wonderful tactile properties of Scottish Cashmere had proceeded to transform cashmere into highly desirable fashion clothing and the decades that followed, cashmere knitwear which was `Made in Scotland`, grew in repute, being made famous by film stars such as Grace Kelly.
Today designers from Paris, Milan, New York, Tokyo and London all seek to have their cashmere collections `Made in Scotland`, and as a Scottish company specialisting in Scottish Cashmere Christian Scott can proudly claim to be able to offer the very best Scottish cashmere available today.
