Sustainable Fibres
Materials selected for comfort, durability,
traceability, and long-term value.
Sustainable Materials
At Richman, responsible material selection begins with understanding each brand's product direction, target price, quality expectations, and market positioning. We work with selected yarn and fibre partners to support traceable cashmere, recycled cashmere, RWS wool, alpaca, and refined natural fibres for premium knitwear, outerwear, accessories, and lifestyle collections.
Traceable Cashmere
Richman works with selected cashmere yarn partners to support batch-level traceability, yarn lot references, dye lot information, and fibre origin documentation upon request. This helps brands develop responsible cashmere collections while maintaining softness, warmth, and refined handfeel.
Recycled Cashmere
Recycled cashmere can support responsible capsule collections and seasonal programs with soft handfeel, warm texture, and premium appearance.
RWS Wool
For selected programs, RWS wool options can support brands seeking responsible wool sourcing, reliable performance, warmth, and structure for refined collections.
Alpaca
Alpaca fibre is valued for its softness, warmth, and elegant texture. It is often used in refined blends to create lightweight yet warm knitwear, scarves, and outerwear pieces.
Natural Fibres
Beyond cashmere and wool, we support selected natural fibres such as yak, camel, mohair, silk, cotton, linen, and refined blends. Our team helps brands match materials to season, handfeel, price positioning, and design direction.
