Why Cashmere Belongs in Your Summer Wardrobe
Cashmere has a reputation as a cold-weather fibre — but that's only half the story. The same natural crimp that traps warmth in winter also creates breathability in summer, making fine cashmere one of the most versatile textiles you can own. At PRATI, every piece is season-less by design: made to order and shipped direct from our factory, crafted to travel with you wherever the season takes you.
1. The Scarf That Goes Everywhere: The Havana
If there's one piece that defines effortless summer cashmere dressing, it's The Havana Scarf. Lightweight, generously sized, and endlessly versatile — wear it as a beach wrap, a plane blanket, a shawl over a summer dress, or loosely knotted at the neck. Available in black, navy, a camel, and many other made to order colors,it's the one piece seasoned travellers reach for first.
Styling tip: Drape loosely over the shoulders on cool summer evenings, for a resort-ready look.
2. Pack Light, Arrive Luxurious: The Cashmere Travel Kit
Long-haul flights, train journeys, weekend escapes — the Cashmere Travel Kit is engineered for exactly this. Everything you need to arrive feeling rested and refined, in the softest natural fibre on earth. It's the kind of travel essential that once you've used it, you'll never leave home without.
Styling tip: Keep your travel kit in your carry-on. Cashmere regulates temperature naturally, so it works whether you're in an over-air-conditioned cabin or stepping off into Mediterranean heat.

Beyond the Havana, our Scarves and Shawls collection spans a range of weights, weaves, and colourways — from fine gauze-weight wraps ideal for summer evenings to classic stoles that double as travel blankets. Each piece is made to order, meaning no excess inventory, no compromise on quality.

How to Care for Cashmere in Summer
Summer cashmere care is simpler than you think:
- Hand wash or cool machine wash in a mesh bag with a gentle wool silk detergent.
- Lay flat to dry — never hang, as cashmere stretches when wet.
- Store folded, not hung, in a breathable cotton bag during off-season.
- Air between wears — cashmere is naturally odour-resistant and rarely needs washing after a single use.
