Like a hidden language that only those dedicated to detail will understand, the Addis Abeba print presents a decorative floral pattern that at first seems subtle and delicate but then reveals a powerful depth: it means New Flower and is the name of the cosmopolitan capital of Ethiopia. The contours of the miniature blossoms are light and gentle, yet with an intense natural sophistication.
Addis Abeba is a quiet companion for moments that demand a touch of luxury without forcing it. All of our products pass through knowledgeable, loving and experienced hands from the extraction of the cashmere wool to its completion. We find this respectful approach to craftsmanship deeply satisfying. We can see how the personal and human manufacturing process is reflected in the garment. As daily companions, our scarves and collection pieces radiate protection, warmth, lightness and beauty to their wearers.
We have been producing our cashmere collection in Kathmandu since the beginning. In trustful cooperation and under excellent, modern conditions our collections are created in this country, whose diversity, resilience and beauty inspire us. We are happy to be able to contribute to the preservation and further development of traditional handicraft techniques and to offer women in particular a protected, secure workplace, thus helping them to achieve a self-determined place in society.
Although cashmere wool is one of the most valuable natural fibers, it is surprisingly easy to care for For washing, the rule is: as little as possible, as often as necessary.
Since wool has self-cleaning properties, the easiest way to care for your cashmere item is by hanging or laying it out in clear, fresh air overnight. Should you ever need to wash your cashmere favorite, we recommend hand washing followed by tumble drying or the Sensitive Wool Wash cycle at a cool temperature. Most modern dryers also offer an option for cool gentle drying. Since cashmere fiber, like human hair, is built on amino acids, we recommend using only gentle special detergents.
