Begg x Co
Scotland
Begg x Co designs and manufactures responsible cashmere knitwear from their mills in Ayr, known as ‘‘The Home of Cashmere,” in the Scottish Borders. The mist generated by the Firth of Clyde, and regular rainfall from the lush Ayrshire hills, creates soft water ideal for creating some of the softest cashmere on the market. Combining long established techniques with cutting-edge technology, each Begg x Co fiber is traceable from goat to garment.
Frenckenberger

Frenckenberger champions the beauty of simplicity and comfort in its utilitarian interpretation of luxury. They offer the highest quality cashmere in straightforward designs with clean cuts. Luxe basic pieces, from cozy wraps and cardigans to classic tees and v-neck sweaters, are decadently soft. In Frenckenberger’s designs, cashmere is constructed to maximize the versatility of the exquisite feel of the fiber, from beautifully draping feather light tops to plush subtly felted pieces.
