Uniting Exquisite Comfort and Design That Captivates at First Touch
Among natural animal hair fibers, cashmere stands as the most premium. This is due to its remarkable lightness, softness, and exceptional warmth – the superior characteristics of this high-grade natural fiber. Its extremely fine fibers and unique luster create a smooth feel against the skin. Furthermore, while it traps air to retain warmth, it also allows moisture to escape, akin to breathing, ensuring constant comfort.
CASHYAGE allows you to fully savor the allure of cashmere. Established in 2013, the brand embodies the skills and know-how cultivated over approximately 30 years by a dedicated Japanese cashmere apparel manufacturer. The brand name, a portmanteau of CASHMERE and VOYAGE, reflects collections inspired by streetscapes, people, and cultures encountered during travels around the world.
For womenswear, knit designer Tomoko Uehara crafts designs that exude mature sophistication, expressing rare materials with free-spirited creativity. The collection features pieces you'll want to keep in your wardrobe for years to come.
Menswear is spearheaded by a creator team deeply familiar with the properties of cashmere knits, challenging the conventional image of cashmere sweaters as merely basic. They aim to create new luxury free-wear by blending select materials, design, trends, and culture.
The theme for Fall/Winter 2015 menswear is "A Door to the World of Cashmere." Beyond a camouflage knit jacket created using patterns as if it were woven fabric, they have crafted knit duffle coats and fedora hats from cashmere knit. The novelty of the designs is impressive, as is the technical prowess that makes them possible. Many items are introduced that lead us into a new realm of cashmere, rarely seen before.
Furthermore, to commemorate the theatrical release of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" on December 18th (Friday), a collaboration line of men's knits with Star Wars has arrived. Featuring items like a knit with Darth Vader prominently displayed on the front, four stylish pieces are available that will appeal not only to fans but to anyone with an eye for fashion. Each piece masterfully blends luxury with playfulness in its chic design, and the 100% premium cashmere ensures exceptional comfort.
This season also marks the beginning of our handling of the brand at Rumors. We offer a comprehensive lineup, from new arrivals in both men's and women's collections to essential accessories for the cold winter, such as scarves. Naturally, special collaboration items, including the Star Wars line, will also be available. We invite you to experience firsthand the exquisite comfort and unique designs that showcase the new charm of cashmere.
