Pure Cashmere Scarf

A Daily Dose of Luxury
We set out to create a scarf that’s luxurious, timeless, and effortlessly wearable. With wool sourced from Inner Mongolia, spun in a small Italian mill, and hand-knit in Kathmandu, Nepal, this is cashmere at its finest.

It’s timeless — crafted as a classic, versatile scarf, available in four balanced Essential shades. Free of unhelpful labels and patterns, so it won’t go out of style. 

It’s wearable. Made with 100% pure cashmere, it’s irresistibly soft, breathably light, and comfortably warm. It’s designed to be your go-to all-season accessory. Light enough for indoors, warm enough for chilly days.

Ethically Made
As with any animal product — not all cashmere is sourced ethically. That’s why we waited, intentionally, to bring cashmere to The Essential. We spent over a year researching cruelty-free cashmere farms. We can now promise that our cashmere is harvested, and crafted, to our notoriously high ethical standard. 

Design

Breathable
Really good cashmere is three things: shockingly soft, meaningfully warm, and light as air. Our ultra-light high quality cashmere is perfect for a scarf because its low density construction keeps it breathable — keeping you warm, but never too warm.

Super Simple Design
Our scarf has everything you need, and nothing you don’t. Crafted from high-quality materials, it’s generously sized at 12×71 inches for versatile wear. We kept it simple—no unnecessary prints, tags, or logos—just pure, timeless style.

Wrinkle + Odor Blocking
Natural fibers have a lot of benefits. Our favorites — they tend to resist wrinkles and absorb fewer odors. The properties are critical for a scarf — something that gets shoved into backpacks, dropped on the floor and comes in contact with sweat on the slopes.

Four Iconic Essential Shades
We hand-dyed our cashmere scarf in four iconic Essential shades. Selected to match any aesthetic.

Snow – a softer, warmer white that goes with anything.
Cement – a light, modern gray to ground any look.
Sand – a warm, natural shade that fits with all neutrals.
Slate – a deep, dark gray to add depth to any look.
