The hunt is on for the perfect cashmere piece to make winter a little softer. The Rolls-Royce of wool, gifted to discerning fashion lovers by the goats of Mongolia, cashmere is a luxury item every wardrobe should own at least once! The Do It Team has tracked down some fabulous labels where quality, colour and eco-responsibility take centre stage. Here’s our round-up of the finest houses for finding the perfect cashmere sweater without breaking the bank.
The Most Italian: Falconeri

Mongolian cashmere, Italian craftsmanship and prices as soft as its cosy sweaters: Falconeri has mastered the art of accessible luxury, with unmistakable Italian elegance. Specialising in beautiful knitwear, the label works with natural fibres selected directly in Mongolia, then transforms the yarn in its Italian workshops, combining innovative production techniques with meticulous finishing. Expect timeless pieces, impeccable cuts and a colour palette that will make you want to refresh your entire winter wardrobe.
Our favourites: the ultra-soft cashmere V-neck sweater (€228), the oversized turtleneck for freezing days (€248), and the elegant, lightweight Airfine cashmere boat-neck sweater (€198). For something a little less basic, we also have our eye on the lamé cashmere crew-neck sweater (€298), which adds just the right amount of shimmer to any outfit.

The Most Timeless: Acanthe

Chic cashmere, impeccable cuts and that unmistakable Parisian charm that never goes out of style. Founded by Antoine de Jouffrey in 1983, Acanthe cultivates French elegance, with beautiful materials and timeless silhouettes taking centre stage. Since 2006, the house has been putting its expertise into cashmere, sourced in Inner Mongolia and knitted using a two-ply yarn to guarantee softness and structure. A label that gives the great classics a contemporary twist, from beautifully crafted sweaters to elegant cardigans and cosy accessories.
Our favourites: we’ve fallen for the asymmetric turtleneck sweater, available in more than ten colours (€289), and the cropped cardigan with pretty buttons, with a special mention for its butter-yellow version (€259). The accessories are just as tempting: comfy mittens (€59), beanies (€75), cable-knit balaclavas (€119) and deliciously so British knee-high socks (€22) are all set to give winter outfits a lift.

The Most Made-to-Measure: Linnea Lund

This is the cosy, responsible little gem we’ve been dreaming of. Tucked away in an adorable boutique on Place de Furstemberg in the 6th arrondissement, the young label Linnea Lund creates semi-made-to-measure cashmere pieces with the same quality as those from the biggest designer houses. No surprise: Charlotte Björklund, who is obsessed with traceability, has her knitwear made to order by an Italian spinner (which supplies all the luxury houses), using wool from Mongolian goats purchased through fair trade, before it is sent to a knitting workshop just 15 km away. The result? Sublime knitwear with a very reassuring carbon footprint.
Our favourites: we’re keeping things classic with monochrome designs and cuts worthy of Chanel: beanies (€105), balaclavas (€265), sleeveless sweaters, hoodies, turtlenecks, ponchos and cropped cardigans (€375), all available in a range of iconic colours. But the house’s real speciality is couture colour. The spinner sends the boutique its available yarn stock, including the latest shades ordered by the major fashion houses. Choose your cut and colour, and your piece is made to measure at the same price. Chic!
Linnea Lund, 7 place de Furstemberg, Paris 6th. Open Tuesday to Saturday, 11 a.m.–2 p.m. and 3 p.m.–7 p.m. Discover the full collection online.
The Most Pop: From Future

After the success of its flagship in Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the opening of a second address in the 8th arrondissement, FROM FUTURE, the temple of colourful cashmere sweaters at accessible prices, has set up shop in the Marais, in the former premises of Ashkenazi restaurant Jo Goldenberg. Now firmly established, this address cultivates its own identity, with a pared-back, immaculate décor, exposed old stone walls and touches of greenery. The perfect setting for shopping its colourful cashmere pieces in a space full of character.
Our favourites: there’s something for everyone, from sweaters in vibrant colours (€215) and a very demure cable-knit sweater with gold buttons (€275) to wonderfully fluffy turtlenecks (€275), ultra-elegant twisted-wool trousers (€195) and long mittens in hypnotic purple (€69).

The Most Eco-Friendly: Absolut Cashmere

With Absolut Cashmere, forget classic, slightly conservative cashmere: think soft knitwear, vibrant colours and a generous dose of pop attitude. The brand shakes things up with accessible, characterful pieces, without losing sight of its commitments. From harvesting and combing the fibres—the gentlest method for the animal—to responsible dyeing, every step matters. The proof? The label takes back your old 100% cashmere sweaters in exchange for a €30 voucher to spend on its website. Upcycling is the future, after all.
Our favourites: V-neck cardigans in soft shades (€275), brushed cashmere sweaters with a beautifully plush feel (€275), and turtlenecks with removable collars, as practical as they are stylish (€295). There are also thick cashmere mittens to keep your hands cosy (€70), neck warmers (€135), plus balaclavas (€140) and beanies (€70), all available in a lovely range of colours to mix things up.

The Most Elegant: Hircus

Since 2014, Hircus has championed elegance through green, cruelty-free cashmere, sold without intermediaries and, above all, with plenty of style. Founded by two entrepreneur friends, the French label designs an eco-responsible, timeless wardrobe using wool from Capra Hircus goats—aka the very finest cashmere—which comes directly from the city of Erdos in Mongolia. In 2025, the house began a new chapter with the arrival of Guillemette Bataille as artistic director. From beautifully cut sweaters to seriously stylish scarves and balaclavas, not to mention sleeveless cardigans and classic cardigans, Hircus offers a cosy blend of heritage and modernity.
Our favourites: this season has us spoilt for choice, with a shirt-style cardigan in a wide range of shades (€180); a taupe cardigan with delicate fringing at the hem, also available in iced-chocolate brown and gorgeous forest green (€290); an absolutely fabulous khaki-green bandana (€130); and a cashmere neck warmer to face the cold in style (€130). There’s also a whole rainbow of beanies, from pale blue and salmon pink to chocolate brown—something to suit every head!
