Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great) How we rate


Our “Planet” rating evaluates brands based on the environmental policies in their supply chains, from carbon emissions and wastewater to business models and product circularity. Here we rate CASHMERE in LOVE “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it uses any lower-impact materials
  • To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
  • It produces long-lasting products.

Workers’ rights are central to our “People” rating, which assess brands’ policies and practices on everything from child labour to living wages and gender equality. Here we rate CASHMERE in LOVE “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It doesn't disclose where all of its final production stage occurs.
  • It traces most of its supply chain.
  • There's no evidence it audits its suppliers.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.

Brands’ animal welfare policies and, where applicable, how well they trace their animal-derived products are the focus of our “Animals” rating. Here we rate CASHMERE in LOVE “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It’s published a general statement about minimising animal suffering but not a formal animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use exotic animal hair, and silk.
  • Responsible Wool Standard certifies the wool it sources.
  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, down, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate CASHMERE in LOVE “It's a Start” overall.
