Women's cashmere cardigans

The cashmere cardigan is the art of elegant layering. Open or buttoned, cropped or long, it slips over any outfit to add an instant touch of refinement. It is the ultimate transitional piece — between seasons, between occasions, between indoors and out. Studio Cashmere8 offers a selection of women's cardigans in 100% pure cashmere or cashmere and ultra-fine wool, designed to combine fluidity and structure. Knitted from Mongolian fibers certified OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, they guarantee impeccable softness and complete respect for the skin and the environment. Our styles come in a range of fits and necklines — V-neck, crew neck, shawl collar, short-sleeved cropped cardigans or hoodies — and in several weights, from light 2-ply for summer and the in-between seasons to cozier 4-ply for autumn and winter. From fitted silhouettes to more relaxed volumes, every piece is designed to earn a lasting place in your wardrobe. Luxurious layering, reinvented season after season.

The cashmere cardigan: the art of layering

It's the piece you always keep handy: the one you throw on over a t-shirt when the temperature drops, the one you slip into your bag for a cool evening, the one you wear open like an indoor jacket. Our collection includes around forty cashmere options from Mongolia — from ultra-fine openwork cardigans to 8-ply wraps, from shawl collars to hoodies — in 100% pure cashmere as well as ultra-fine cashmere and wool blends.

Everyday Cardigans

The LILLY 7is our most versatile V-neck cardigan: 2-ply jersey, neat cut, available in a wide range of colors. The LILLY 4offers the same spirit in a round neck. For a more textured knit, the MIA 13features ribs in pure cashmere, while the KELLY 28, a blend of 50% cashmere and 50% wool, boasts a soft ribbed knit and a comfortable oversized fit that's perfect for layering from morning to night.

Warm Knits for Winter

When the cold sets in, we increase the thickness. The ZAYA 16and ZAYA 2offer the V-neck cardigan in 4-ply. The MIA 11goes up to 6-ply in pure cashmere, and the ZAYA 8reaches 8-ply—our densest knit, a cardigan that keeps you as warm as a jacket. Fans of enveloping cuts will appreciate the shawl collarof the NAMI 12and NAMI 2, whose wide collar drapes around the shoulders.

The Long Cardigan

The MIA 6elongates the silhouette: a long cardigan in pure cashmere ribbed knit, to be worn open like a knitted vest over fluid trousers. A structuring piece that effortlessly dresses up a simple outfit.

The FRIDA Line, Ultra-fine and Openwork

Lighter, the FRIDA line is knitted in ultra-fine cashmere and wool. The FRIDA 3offers the openwork V-neck cardigan, while the FRIDA 5and FRIDA 6feature short-sleeved round-neck cardigans—the 6 in an openwork version—perfect over a summer dress or a t-shirt. These are delicate pieces that can be layered without ever weighing down the silhouette.

Cashmere Hoodies

The hoodie goes cashmere with the FRIDA line. The FRIDA 9reinterprets the hoodie in ultra-fine openwork knit, with a soft hood and embroidered logo patch, for a casual chic and feminine spirit. The FRIDA 11offers a version in solid knit, more refined and sportswear. Both can be worn alone or layered over other pieces from the line, from jeans to fluid trousers.

A Unique Piece: the ZAYA 14 Jacket

A nod to vintage fashion, the ZAYA 14is a Mongolian cashmere jacket with a thick Milano knit, enhanced with visible white stitching and mother-of-pearl buttons. Oversized cut, retro look: wear it over flared jeans or wide-leg trousers for a look like no other.

Understanding Ply Count

The number of plies assembled determines the density of the knit, and thus its warmth. Our ultra-fine knits and 2-ply are suitable for warmer days and light layering; 4-ply and 6-ply are for autumn; 8-ply keeps you warm in the heart of winter. All our pieces are OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, for healthy cashmere that is gentle on the skin and the environment.

Composing Your Outfit

A cardigan can be worn with almost anything: over a cashmere t-shirtfor light layering, over a dressfor a more dressed-up look, or open like a jacket over matching cashmere trousers. For other layering pieces, discover our round-neck sweatersand our ponchos and capes.

Choosing the Right Size

Depending on the lines, our cardigans are available in single or double sizes (S-M, L-XL). Oversized cuts like the KELLY 28 or the ZAYA 14 jacket can be worn in your usual size; fitted lines like the FRIDA are body-hugging. Our size guidespecifies the measurements for each item.

Caring for Your Cashmere

Hand wash in cold water with a special wool detergent, or delicate cycle in a mesh bag. Never wring the knit: gently press, then lay flat to dry. Stored folded away from light, with a cedar or lavender sachet, the cardigan retains its shape season after season. Our detailed advice can be found on the cashmere carepage.
