Cashmere is an investment buy, a luxury piece, a timeless fabric. It’s one of the sweaters you hope to one day pass down to your daughter, hoping that she, too, hoards it in plastic bags and keeps it safe from coffee spills and accidental pen marks.
And then, you tear it. Or, the moths eat it. And no matter what you do, how much you paid or how many tears you shell out in rebellion, there isn’t any going back. Unless you get yourself a Cashmend! (It’s exactly what you think it is, a bandaid for the cashmere sweaters.)
“A little cashmere can solve the HOLE problem.” That’s the tagline for these $14 cashmere bandaid — which is kind of the most amazing thing we’ve ever heard (or at least when it comes to sweater repair).
Of course, it’s better to just make sure your cashmere never gets any holes to begin with — patchwork cashmere doesn’t have anything on patchwork denim. And for more news, check out Rita Ora’s Rebecca Minkoff coat or how Sephora is helping to launch Google Hangouts.
