Naadam’s original cashmere sweater was one of our most popular gifts of the year. It’s a classic style that delivers the sensation of a luxurious splurge at a very reasonable price, so you don’t need to be overly cautious with it. Our experts think this sweater is the perfect entry point into the world of cashmere.
