Baby Cashmere & The Best Brands to Buy: A Guide
Baby Cashmere
Why We Say “Yes” to Baby Cashmere: How to choose the right cashmere baby shower gift and which of the best baby cashmere brands.
Last updated July 2026.
Cashmere Baby Brands You Need to Know About
We carry two cashmere brands, and they are built for different jobs. Start here before you pick a piece.
Choose Les Lutins if: you want a newborn gift or a first winter layer that stays soft the whole time your baby fits into it. Pure cashmere is the softest option we carry, and it holds up well enough to pass down.
Choose Tartine et Chocolat if: you need something for regular daily wear. The wool or cotton blend holds its shape better through frequent washing and is more forgiving for everyday use.
Les Lutins: Pure Cashmere
Les Lutins is the line I reach for when someone asks what to buy a newborn that will actually get worn, not just photographed once. Every piece is 100% cashmere, no blending, so it stays this soft the whole time a baby fits into it.
Les Lutins works entirely in pure cashmere. The line runs from a simple cap and blanket to full rompers and a letterman jacket and legging set, all in the same fiber quality.
- Fabric: 100% cashmere
- Known for: Rompers, caps, blankets, and matching sets in soft neutrals
- Best for: Newborn gifting and first winter layering
- Starting price: $89 for the cap
Tartine et Chocolat: Cashmere Blends
Tartine et Chocolat is what I point parents to when they want cashmere but need it to survive a real week, not a nursery shelf. The blend gives up a little softness for a lot more durability.
Tartine et Chocolat blends cashmere with wool or cotton, which adds durability without losing the softness that makes cashmere worth choosing in the first place.
- Fabric: Wool cashmere and cashmere cotton blends
- Known for: Top and bottom sets, rompers
- Best for: Everyday winter wear that still feels considered
- Starting price: $165 for a romper
What to Actually Get
If you are not sure where to start, here is how we would point you based on what you actually need it for.
Trying cashmere for the first time? Start with the Les Lutins cashmere cap, $89. It is the lowest commitment way to see how the fabric wears and washes before buying more.
Buying a newborn gift? The Les Lutins cashmere blanket, $210, or the Tartine et Chocolat pearl set, $176.
Need something for daily winter wear? Reach for Tartine et Chocolat's wool cashmere romper, $165, it is built to be worn and washed often.
Want a real statement piece? The Les Lutins letterman jacket and legging set, $260, is the one people stop you to ask about.
Cost Expectations
Cashmere pricing depends on the piece and the blend, not just the brand. Here is what to expect across everything we carry.
| Piece | Price range |
|---|---|
| Cap | $89 |
| Blanket | $210 |
| Romper | $165 to $207 |
| Knit top and bottom set | $165 to $193 |
| Jacket and legging set | $260 |
Pure cashmere pieces sit at the higher end of a given category. A Les Lutins romper runs $201 to $207, compared to $165 for a Tartine et Chocolat wool cashmere romper. The gap is the fiber, not a brand markup, pure cashmere simply costs more to produce than a blend.
A Note on Sizing
Cashmere is one of the pricier categories on the site, so it is worth getting the size right. Because these pieces are often bought as gifts or ahead of a season, many parents size up rather than buying to the baby's current measurements. It means more wear before it is outgrown. If you are between sizes, or buying for a birth that is still a few months out, sizing up is the safer choice.

Caring for Cashmere Without the Anxiety
Cashmere has a reputation for being fussy. In practice, baby cashmere is more forgiving than people expect, mostly because babies grow out of pieces before the fabric has time to wear out.
- Hand wash in cold water with a wool specific detergent, or use a gentle wool cycle if the label allows it
- Lay flat to dry, never hang, a wet knit will stretch under its own weight
- Skip the dryer entirely, heat is what damages cashmere fibers
- A light brush with a cashmere comb handles pilling in seconds, it is not a sign the piece is wearing out
- Store folded with a cedar block rather than on a hanger, moths are drawn to natural fibers left undisturbed
Baby Cashmere: FAQ
How much does baby cashmere cost?
At Rama Baby, cashmere pieces range from $89 for a cap to $260 for a full jacket and legging set. Rompers run $165 to $207, blankets are around $210, and knit sets run $165 to $193 depending on the blend.
Is cashmere safe for a newborn?
Yes. Cashmere is a natural fiber with no synthetic additives, and its fine texture makes it gentler on sensitive skin than most sheep's wool. As with any knitwear, avoid loose ribbons or ties on pieces worn unsupervised.
Should I buy pure cashmere or a cashmere blend?
Pure cashmere, like our Les Lutins pieces, is softest and best for special pieces or gifting. A wool or cotton cashmere blend, like Tartine et Chocolat, holds up better to daily wear.
Can you machine wash baby cashmere?
Only if the specific piece is labeled for it. Cashmere cotton blends sometimes allow a gentle cycle. Pure cashmere and wool cashmere blends should be hand washed.
What is the easiest first cashmere piece to buy for a baby?
A cap or a blanket. Both are low commitment, easy to care for, and a simple way to see how the fabric behaves before buying a full set. Shop here: Cashmere at Rama Baby.
