Paychi Guh's Cashmere Winter

2 min read | Fashion | A.M.

Paychi Guh is back with a passion for lightweight comfort and luxury textile. Built upon a cashmere foundation, the brand offers a variety of sweaters, caps and wraps in four flavors: baby, dreamy, premium, and worsted. And whichever which yarn you choose, that silky-smooth feeling permeates throughout.

This season we're all about staying stylishly warm and secretly dreaming of printed plaid on worsted yarn. Fortunately, founder and designer Paychi Karen Guh has us covered and has consistently brought together the often disparate worlds of art and commerce to deliver elevated ready-to-wear with a keen grasp of contemporary style that comfortably fits within a transeasonal wardrobe. In other words, giving us options that slay season after season.

For those who may be unaware, Karen is a local rock star whose background at Central Saint Martins and tenure at Nordstrom have forged her into the Queen of Cashmere we know and love today. Karen went with cashmere as her textile of choice for its technical and generally sustainable characteristics. When cashmere is of the highest quality, sourced well, and considerations are given to the environment and product yields, it can help maintain ecological equilibrium as we endeavor to reduce carbon emissions and industry incursions whilst supporting local economies and safeguarding artisan traditions. Simply put, Karen knows what's up and has created a delightfully sustainable collection of warmth and whimsy.

Not all cashmere is the same. And as many sources report, low quality, overproduction and exponential demand have greatly impacted both our industry and global climate. Karen has given considerable thought to her business plan and partners with artisans and businesses committed to transparency throughout the supply chain. The result is cashmere one can be proud to own knowing they've contributed to an exchange of value that elevates communities around our world.
