The festive season is looming on the horizon, and you might have started to think about buying Christmas presents for your loved ones. For a gift that speaks of understated luxury, warmth, and elegance, nothing quite equals cashmere accessories. Here is a guide to choosing the perfect high quality knitwear gift. 

The printed pashmina shawl

Pashmina is an exceptionally light and delicate type of cashmere that is obtained from the fleece of the Changthangi goat. The fine knit makes it an ideal material for a shawl that drapes beautifully and provides warmth whilst remaining light and breathable. They are also an elegant way to add interest to an outfit with a stylish print or embellishment. 

Choose a design that complements the personal style of the giftee, whether they are youthful and on-trend, classic and elegant, or laid back and practical. There’s a design to suit everyone, from eye-catching contemporary prints to stripes and bold florals.

The classic cashmere scarf

A cashmere scarf is a gift that will be appreciated by everyone, from the main man or woman in your life to family and friends. Cosy and wonderfully soft, they can bring warmth and sophisticated chic to any outfit. Choose from understated neutral shades of grey or camel, or a bright pop of colour to brighten up the winter days. 

Ponchos and wraps

Ponchos are a stylish alternative to a jacket for an evening out, or just a shopping trip when you want to stay warm but keep your arms free of sleeves. This versatile item will be a welcome addition to any wardrobe. A wrap is another great choice for a gift that is lightweight to be used on cool summer days, but warm and cosy at this time of year.

Cashmere hats

A hat is a practical accessory and no one will fail to appreciate the wonderful softness and lightness of cashmere headwear. Men will love a classic beanie, while for women there is a choice of beanies, pompom hats and cute pointelle knits. 

Cashmere gloves

Gloves are a thoughtful  gift, and the warmth of cashmere means that they will be ideal for those chilly winter walks. Choose from fingerless options for the convenience of being able to use a smartphone while out and about.

Coordinated cashmere sets

If you want to really impress your loved one with an indulgent gift this year, then a coordinated cashmere set will really bring the wow factor. Treat them to a matching hat, scarf, and gloves set for a beautifully matched winter ensemble that will put the perfect finishing touch to any outfit. 

Cashmere knits

A cashmere jumper is a gift that will be loved and treasured for years to come. Consider the personal style preferences of the giftee and choose from a range of V-neck, roll neck, ribbed, or round neck knitwear items. There are neat and chic fitted jumpers, or long line loose cardigans for days when you just want to chill out and be stylish yet cosy.
