Women's cashmere poncho & kimono cardigan

Cashmere ponchos and kimono cardigans are the epitome of effortless elegance. Loose, flowing, and easy to slip on, they instantly add style to any outfit – without fitted sleeves or closures, just the natural drape of the knit. At Studio Cashmere8, these pieces are made from 100% pure Mongolian cashmere or ultra-fine cashmere and wool, OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified. The fineness of the fiber gives them a supple and lively drape, without any stiff or constricting effect. The poncho drapes over the shoulders in one piece, while the kimono cardigan, open at the front and cut in an oversized fit, wears like a light jacket. From extra-light openwork knits for summer to more enveloping versions for mid-season, from timeless solids to hand-dyed tie & dye, each piece naturally pairs with the sweaters, dresses, and t-shirts in the collection. Total freedom of movement, in the softest material in the world.

Cashmere ponchos and kimono cardigans: effortless elegance

These are the pieces you grab as you head out: nothing to button, nothing to adjust. Just drape them over your shoulders and your outfit is complete. Our collection brings together two complementary styles – the poncho, which wraps you in a single piece, and the kimono cardigan, open at the front with an oversized cut – in 100% pure cashmere as well as cashmere and ultra-fine wool.

The poncho

Our LILLY 9is a poncho in the purest sense: made from warm, fluffy cashmere, lightly felted for extra softness, it is seamless and finished with an asymmetrical hem. It can be worn over a tone-on-tone turtleneck for a play of textures, or over a simple straight dress. A piece that drapes over the shoulders without ever feeling heavy.

Kimono cardigans

Open at the front, with short sleeves and an oversized cut, our kimono cardigans are inspired by casual Parisian chic. The RIA 4offers them in extra-light knit and bold colors — tangerine, neon yellow, Barbie pink — perfect for summer. The AVA 11features this cut in hand-dyed tie & dye: each piece is unique, from the orange and blue gradient (extra-light knit) to the baby pink and nude (2-ply knit, a little more opaque).

Finally, the KELLY 5offers versatility: a kimono cardigan in cashmere and ultra-fine wool, fluid and light, available in six colors from gray to lavender. The blend gives the knit a little more structure, making it the easiest version to wear in all seasons.

Which piece for which season?

The extra-light knits of the RIA 4 and the orange-blue AVA 11 are designed for warm days and cool summer evenings. The 2-ply baby pink AVA 11 and the cashmere-wool KELLY 5 are perfect for mid-season. The LILLY 9 poncho, denser and slightly felted, is reserved for really cool days. All our pieces are OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, for healthy cashmere that respects the skin and the environment.

How to wear them

The kimono cardigan can be worn open over a cashmere t-shirtor a tank top, with jeans or flowing trousers for a chic casual look. The poncho, on the other hand, pairs with simple volumes: a close-fitting turtleneck, straight trousers.

Choosing the right size

Ponchos and kimono cardigans are cut in oversized styles, designed to fall loosely on the shoulders. They therefore adapt easily to various body types. Our size guidespecifies the measurements for each item.

Caring for your cashmere

Hand wash in cold water with a special wool detergent, or delicate cycle in a mesh bag. Never wring the knit: gently press, then dry flat. Hand-dyed tie & dye pieces should be washed separately for the first few washes. Stored folded away from light, with a cedar or lavender sachet, each piece retains its shape season after season. Our detailed advice can be found on the cashmere carepage.
