The line of cashmere that they carry is very diverse.  You will find cashmere cardigans, cashmere hoodies and many different types of cashmere sweaters.  They carry more classic pieces such as a basic cashmere hoodie and short-sleeve shirts.  They  also carry a lot more trendier items as well including long hooded cardigans, long-sleeve dresses and different wraps and sweaters.  The great thing is that the clothes are not too trendy and you won’t have to put them away next year because nobody is wearing that style anymore.  Check out some of their cute pieces below.

One of the best things about their clothes is the great prints you will find on them.  The prints are gorgeous with beautiful butterfly details splashed on.  Check out one that I love here.

This cashmere hoodie is simply gorgeous.  It transforms a simple, basic hoodie into much more of a statement piece.  Check out the sea green butterfly on the side by the pockets and the smaller turquoise butterfly right below it.  The little details on this hoodie make it so fun to wear and you will definitely stand out, even if you are trying to look more casual and relaxed.

The hoodies and other sweaters come in several different colors and the blend of the colors is fantastic.  You’ll find a gorgeous mix of blues and browns blended together or a burgundy, purple and gold print swirled together.  These prints are perfect when paired with a plain white t-shirt or a cute pair of skinny jeans.  Wearing this cashmere will make you instantly feel more dressed up, even when you are just trying to be comfortable and stay warm.

Unfortunately, I found a couple of downsides to the clothing line. The line is a bit thin and not as soft and thick as the traditional cashmere you would think of.  While it is still warm, normally, I like my cashmere to be a bit softer.  Another concern is the construction of the items. For example, the silk-lined cashmere hoodie looks like it has a silver lining stitched inside.  However, the lining is just a piece of fabric that is added to the edges and stops after a few inches.  Instead, you would expect something that actually lines the inside of the hoodie.  CO2 is not cheap and can actually be a bit expensive. Most items range in price from $195 – $400.  The creative designs somewhat make up for the higher price point, but only if you love the designs.

I would recommend checking out this site for their pretty designs, but be careful with the items you select.  If you want a cashmere cardigan or cashmere sweater that is different from your basic black cashmere cardigan, check out CO2 Cashmere .

Finally, the other day, my friend talked me into going into the Loro Piana store.  Her reasoning was that if we bought one item from that store and it lasted for more than 5 seasons, then it would be worth it.  Normally, the items we were buying only lasted for 1 or 2 seasons.  So, we were spending $200 on a cashmere cardigan that lasted 1 or even 2 seasons.  If we spent $500 for an item that we could wear for even 3 or more seasons, then we would have gotten our money’s worth.

Luckily we walked in and tried on their cardigans.  The cashmere was the most wonderful cashmere I had ever felt.  The styles are classic which means you can wear them all the time.  Although the prices were much higher than we were used to, they seemed worth it since we knew we could wear them for a long time.

Below are a few examples of Loro Piana cashmere cardigans that I found in the store that I liked.

This first one is a Loro Piana Knit Bomber.  Very classic, very sleek, it looks great on most women.  It comes in a beautiful off white color that works great with most outfits.  You can actually buy this at Bergdorf Goodman.

This next one is a gorgeous orange and white striped cashmere cardigan set.  The sweater underneath is a cute v-neck, while the cardigan fits snugly on top.

Both of these looks are a bit more conservative, but they are great for the office.

When the cashmere cardigan came, I was pleasantly surprised.  The thing is, I chose one that was more than 40% off the original price.  This is the main reason why I ordered online.  It was so much cheaper than what I had found in the stores, even when I found cardigans on sale.  Therefore, I decided to save money and order the clothes online.  I had chosen a bright orange color because I wanted to brighten up my winter clothes.  The color was true to what I saw on the internet and the cashmere was great quality.  It felt really good and it fit well on me.  The only thing I regretted was not ordering another one.  There were many different colors to choose from and I had only chosen one color.  When I went back online to try and order another one, everything was sold out.  Therefore, I would recommend ordering a cashmere cardigan online and taking that chance, but next time, I would say order 2.  You can always return it and if you like it, you would have found a great deal.
