Impossibly Soft Cashmere for Everyday

Once the weather starts getting crisp, there is nothing better than a soft, oversized cashmere sweater to keep the cold out. Look no further than Christopher Fischer Cashmere in SoHo, a 25-year-old company that began in Scotland, where namesake Christopher Fischer learned the tradition of cashmere knitting. After trying his hand at the trade, Fischer began creating his own styles, and eventually technological advancements helped in making a more contemporary version of traditional Scottish knitwear. Nonetheless, all pieces are hand-spun and hand-dyed. The final results are exquisite sweaters, dresses and accessories that mix a European aesthetic with an American sensibility (thanks to the fact that Fischer owns homes in both Long Island and New York City, in addition to London).

 

The modern SoHo outpost opened in 2004, adding to an already successful string of stores around the country. Along with countless other boutiques that stock his designs, this location serves as the main hub of all things cashmere. The boutique is an example of the “less is more” principle, a loft-like space with expansive light wood floors setting the stage for elegant columns and sleek, modern tables hosting cashmere in a candy-store range of colors, shapes and styles. Pick up a light and airy sweater-dress, chunky cable-knit cardigan or a few bright and warm shawls to keep you cozy on the flight home, and thereafter.
