It is full-on sweater season over here. It snowed a few weeks ago, and I don't want to wear a blouse again until it starts warming up. Sweater options are abundant and available in many colors, neutrals, and styles. There are perfect options for work, casualwear, and every day. I wore a sweater every day last week, and I'm all for great trousers, pants, and warm sweater options right now.

As I work with clients through the shopping process, two questions have come up a lot: how do I invest in sustainable pieces, and how do I take care of my sweaters? I've researched and found the perfect passionate person who knows so much about this. 

Elisa Yip is the founder of SSkein, a sustainable luxury knitwear brand made with purpose and integrity. We met at the Bellevue Collection Fashion show through one of my best friends, who has been trying to hook us up for years. When I went to her home to try on her pieces, I fell more in love with the brand because of how well-made it was. I don't want to go into too much detail about her or Sskein. In this conversation, she shares everything you need to know about cashmere, alpaca, sweater care, how often to wash your sweaters, and so much more.
