Cashmere Circle aims to be a truly sustainable business, environmentally of course, and socially by ensuring jobs and skills are retained in the Borders. Cashmere Circle will invisibly repair almost any small hole before treating the garment with pioneering cleaning processes that enhance the garment and sanitize it.
Belinda Dickson and Ross Powell have co-founded the company to help luxury fashion move to a circular economy model.
Cashmere Circle will send a courier to collect your cashmere garments, which will then be professionally restored, repaired, or upcycled into new products at the end of their current life.
Cashmere Circle will donate 1% of its revenue to Trees for Life, which is rewilding the Scottish Highlands and has entered an agreement with Oxfam for the charity to divert end-of-life cashmere garments that would otherwise go to landfill.
Belinda Dickson said, “A truly beautiful wardrobe is one that does no damage to the planet, and dressing in luxurious knitwear doesn’t mean you can’t address clear societal and sustainability needs. Cashmere Circle will be doing great things for the industry, the wider communities, and the planet.”
Ross Powell, Co-Founder, and CEO, Cashmere Circle, said, “Cashmere Circle aims to be a truly sustainable business – environmentally of course, but also socially, by ensuring jobs and skills are retained in the Borders. It’s very exciting to launch Cashmere Circle, to serve our first customers, and provide a means of engagement for the luxury market with the environmental movement. Natural, biodegradable, and a fiber that softens with wear, cashmere can, if cared for appropriately, be the perfect luxury fiber for a more sustainable fashion future.
