What to Consider

Materials & Construction

·Cashmere — Softer and lighter than wool but more delicate. Quality cashmere (look for long-fiber, 2-ply) pills less and can last a decade with care.
·Leather — Quality leather develops character and a patina with age — it gets better, not worse. Can last decades with basic maintenance.
·Made by Poppy Barley in Canada.

Longevity & Care

·Cashmere — Hand wash cold or dry clean. Store folded, never hung — hangers stretch the shoulders. Pilling is normal early on — use a cashmere comb.

Good to Know

Poppy Barley demonstrates genuine commitment to organic materials and ethical sourcing, but we could not find extensive evidence of reinforced construction details (bar-tacks, gussets), formal repair programs, or a formal lifetime warranty.…

·⚠ Beware ultra-cheap cashmere — short fibers pill quickly and lose shape. Look for 2-ply construction and long-staple fibers.

·Leather — Condition every 3-6 months to prevent drying and cracking. Avoid prolonged water exposure. Store in a breathable bag, never plastic.

·⚠ Avoid "bonded leather" or "genuine leather" — these are the lowest grades. Bonded leather is essentially glued scraps that peel and flake within 1-2 years. Look for "full-grain" or "top-grain" for real longevity.

Cost Per Use

·Cashmere — A quality cashmere sweater at $200 worn weekly for 8 years costs about $0.50 per wear. Cheap cashmere ($50) often pills out within a season — making it more expensive per wear.
·Leather — A well-made leather bag or boot can last 10-20 years, making the cost per year very low compared to replacing synthetic alternatives every 1-2 years.
·Priced around $275 (midpoint of $150–$400 for Accessories). At ~12 uses/month, this hits the $1-per-use "worth it" mark in 1.9 years — and falls to roughly 38¢ per use across a 5-year lifespan.
