When I read the bio for Amanda Shi (creator of the Avita line) I thought to myself… fashion houses DISCARD the extra cashmere after its been cut??? That’s criminal! But even amazing is that Amanda has been able to take that extra material to create her own line.

Yes… a line designed from recycled cashmere. Now that’s a recycling project I wish I had starting accepting donations for! I would’ve given out the little green bins and everything.

I love cashmere. It feels so good against your skin. It’s warm when it’s supposed to be, and it just looks good on you. I could live in it.

In fact, that’s Amanda’s tagline: “Live in cashmere.”

Amanda… if you’re reading this, feel free to adopt me and I’ll be more than happy to live in as much cashmere as you’re willing drape over my womanly frame.

I love her line because of the smooth silhouettes. You can dress it up or dress it down. And it has a timeless look. Tres, tres Sex in the City.
