love the color, your first piece from Bompard ?
any notes on other french cashmere brands ? I'm only familiar with Allude, which I bought a couple of, maybe ten years ago, and they are holding up just as well as Cucinelli and JoE from that period
Yes, it's my first piece from them (and I actually think it would not be my last). I love the many cheerful color options they have, great way to add more colors in the wardrobe. I have yet to wear it for some time to see if they hold up well but I think they are good value at first glance, especially when on sales.
Other French brands known for its cashmere:
Hircus (value player),
Tricot (all their knits are a mix of new and old cashmere yarn, focus on sustainable cashmere that does not pill anymore),
Kujten (similar offering as Bompard and fairly new to the game but they are expanding fast last few years),
Fromfuture (cashmere designs for youngsters)
and of course, established brands such as Hermes and Chanel are popular in the French cashmere community as well.
We see E. Bompard and Kujten are probably the only small players in France that positions itself in the "high-end" segment and while Bompard is nice, it's clear that the dominance of Scottish/ Italian brands are not going away in near future
