A Brand to Watch for Comfortable Texture and Refreshing Style
The knits from CASH CA, designed by Craig Alexander, who has a long history in knitwear, achieve a unique texture and luster not possible with 100% cotton by blending cashmere with cotton, and are finished with a soft feel through innovative knitting techniques.
These original items, a fusion of high-quality cashmere and other natural materials with elegant, modern designs, are winning over fans each season as a new sensation in knitwear.
Furthermore, since the 2010 Spring/Summer collection, Kazuki Kuraishi, one of Japan's most talked-about designers, has taken the helm of the new label's direction. The collection showcases refined designs on high-quality materials. We also draw attention to "immun," the bag brand Kuraishi crafts in collaboration with CASHCA.

CRAIG ALEXANDER
After graduating at the top of his class from the renowned SCOTTISH COLLEGE OF TEXTILE in the UK in 1980, he joined JOHN SMEDLEY. He not only revolutionized their items but also implemented various marketing strategies, gaining significant support. During his five-year tenure, JOHN SMEDLEY's sales more than doubled, and for these achievements, he received an award from the British Fashion Council in 1991. He then moved to MARGARET HOWELL to strengthen their knitwear collection. At MARGARET HOWELL, he increased knitwear sales tenfold within five years. Subsequently, he continued as a design consultant for prominent European brands, eventually seizing the opportunity to launch his own brand, CRAIG ALEXANDER, successfully establishing the new knitwear brand "CASH CA" in 1999 with a fresh sensibility.
