Cashmere as Esme intended
After years in the knitwear industry, I have come to understand that true luxury is not only about rarity. It is about comfort, longevity, and the sense of wellbeing a beautifully made fibre can bring to the person wearing it. That understanding shapes everything I do.
With Ahipao, I want to encourage a more confident way of wearing cashmere. Not as something reserved for special occasions, but as a trusted part of everyday life. I never saved cashmere for best, I wore it every day. Cashmere is made to be lived in, and your best pieces belong in your daily rhythm.
This capsule collection celebrates cashmere created with care and legacy in mind, designed to be worn often, loved deeply, and kept for years. Do not save it for your best day, make every day your best.
From my hands to yours,
