Finest quality cashmere NZ
Spotlight on Aleger Cashmere
Aleger Cashmere was launched in 2020, so it's relatively 'young' for a fashion brand, but the two founders – Ali and Steve, both share decades of industry experience in design and in cashmere yarn farming, yarn spinning and knitwear production. Aleger Cashmere is now comprised of a small global team united by a shared passion for exceptional knitwear production, quality and design.
Why choose Aleger Cashmere?
For one – their designs are timeless yet contemporary. At The Mum Loop, we've launched with Aleger's Autumn/Winter 2025 collection – featuring a varied colour palette that serves both the conservative fashion mumma, as well as the mums looking for something that's a little less ordinary. Regardless of your personal tastes – Aleger pieces are designed to last for years to come to be 'forever cashmere favourites'.
Aleger's ethos is one of conscious design. Each core seasonal collection blends and evolves into the next. They design this way to ensure that new styles and colourways can be added to existing favourites in order to refresh and build on outfits and looks without the need to retire previous season's pieces.
A cashmere cardigan is a wardrobe staple
I can't think of a more convenient item of clothing than a lightweight, luxuriously soft Aleger cashmere cardigan. The N.99 Cashmere Blend Oversized Cardigan is available online at The Mum Loop in the gorgeous new-season Sicily blue (soft enough for blondes and brunettes of varying skin tones to wear) and the timeless Shell colour-way, which has the prettiest warm undertone – making it a particularly beautiful shade for blondes to wear.

Aleger's commitment to quality underpins everything they do
Aleger only buys yarn that is fully traceable and sustainable from three key suppliers that have an impeccable reputation in the industry. This discernment is key for Aleger Cashmere to maintain its reputation.
Aleger's yarn supplier cultivates their own cashmere goat pastures in Ordos Otuke Banner in Inner Mongolia and is certified to US and EU organic farming standards. They are also GOTS certified, so they have traceability through their supply chain from the farm right to the finished goods.
The wool in Aleger's cashmere blend yarns is bought from suppliers certified with the responsible wool standard. The 70% Wool 30% Cashmere blend is produced using 40% recycled wool.
Feel-good manufacturing
Aleger produce all of their collections in their own knitwear factory that is certified annually by independent audit bodies.
Under The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) Aleger's knitting factory and the production management arm of their business adhere to high-level environmental and social compliance criteria along the entire supply chain. They can trace the organic status of their product, from harvesting of the raw materials through to environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing. In addition, The Global Recycle Wool Standard (GRS) certification enables them to trace and certify the recycled content in their wool/cashmere blends.
