There’s something so lux and special about wearing cashmere.  Not only does it feel soft against the skin but it keeps you so so warm and toasty.   And that on a bitter, icy winter’s day is priceless.  I love a bit of cashmere for myself but also for kids and babies who need to be even toastier than us.  I’m not talking a cupboard full but just one or two key pieces that can be worn with anything and everything.  The one big drawback for me has been that you have to dry clean cashmere which just becomes a huge pain (not to mention cost) with kids.  So I was delighted to be introduced to Papa Lobster who make beautiful and practical cashmere for kids – cashmere that can be thrown in the washing machine endless times.

Papa Lobster make a range of baby and kids clothes in beautiful colours – from muted camels and greys (which are my favourites) to vibrant fuchsia’s and royal blues.  I especially love their soft cashmere pants with the contrasting coloured waist ties and the cute cashmere hoodies.  Next time I want to get a cashmere piece for Anya I will be looking to Papa Lobster not just because of their beautiful styles but you just can’t beat the practicality of machine washable cashmere for kids.  In the meantime, what a lovely gift these pieces would make for a newborn.
