So Good To Wear was founded by Jacqui and Fons Burger, while traveling through Nepal they witnessed the damage which the earthquake in 2015 had done to the country. The duo decided to start a cashmere farm to re-introduce the cashmere product and corresponding crafts to Nepal. The brand its principles are focused on good working conditions, fair pays, a monitored supply chain, sustainable sourcing and animal-friendly acquiring of raw materials (cashmere in this case). 

 

What is most special about So Good To Wear is their dedication to quality in every possible sense as the people, the environment, the goats, the retailers and customers all benefit. Cashmere is well-known as a luxury good, though it has to be harvested, spun and knitted in the right manner. This combination of factors, when executed well, result in a long lasting products that have an incredible soft feel to it.
