The Real Cost of Cashmere: Why We Choose a Slower Path
When people first hear our prices, we know what they think, why pay more for cashmere? Here’s the honest answer: it’s all about cashmere value reasons that go deeper than a quick label or a trend. We hand-select the best Italian-milled cashmere, and nothing gets knitted unless someone genuinely wants it. Every step matters, from the shepherd in Piedmont to the elderly spinner who can tell yarn quality by touch alone. Making garments that last isn’t marketing for us; it’s a kind of quiet rebellion against waste. You might spot it in the softness of a sleeve or the subtle gleam that stays, season after season. For anyone comparing us to fast fashion—there’s simply no comparison.

Slow Fashion, Real Value
Why do we resist the rush of fast fashion? Slow fashion isn’t just a catchphrase here at Monticelli. It’s a rhythm set by nature and tradition, one stitch at a time. Our Italian knitwear isn’t churned out in giant batches. Instead, the Pure Cashmere Hoodie Sweater starts as raw fiber from ethical herders, then passes through the careful hands of local dyers and spinners from family-run workshops. The result is knitwear that breathes, feels weightless, and holds your warmth in a way that’s both practical and kind of comforting, like an old friend’s hug. We focus on quality, not hype. The feeling you get wearing it—safe, settled, at ease—well, that’s the hardest part to put a price on.
Sustainability You Can Feel, Not Just Read About
Some brands sell sustainability as a story. We live it in very practical ways. No overproduction, only cashmere that’s traceable to its source, and raw materials handled by local Italian mills. When you browse our Camel Cashmere collection, what you see is exactly what you get, quiet earth tones, gentle hand-feel, and a conscience as clean as the Tuscan fields around us. Our approach may seem stubborn, but it’s how we stay true to the land, the artisans, and to you. No need for big claims—just honest work.
