Is it not simplistic to quote an 'expert' who happens to make a frightfully fresh generalisation that alludes inferior Chinese manufacturing to the root of the tainted halo of cashmere?
Let us ignore the democratisation of 'luxury' goods, the burgeoning of the aspirational classes (thus supply chain issues) coupled with the excesses of clothing mercantilism and so on.
Jesse from Put This On broke down the cashmere situation quite nicely on his blog. Quoted from him:
"Here’s the honest truth: ........ These days, cashmere’s made with much shorter fibers, by inexpert (or uncaring) weavers in China. ....... and wears out quickly."
