Teddy Cashmere

Purpose-driven artisanal Italian cashmere.

Since it first arrived in Europe in the 19th Century, cashmere, with its unparalleled feel and versatility, has been a favorite of luxury designers and discerning clientele alike. Today, Teddy Cashmere has taken up a leadership position in the cashmere world, embracing the Queen of Knits’ timeless appeal and elevating it by design for today’s discerning, self-actualized, fashion-focused modern woman.

For celebrated Canadian designer and tastemaker Wendy Bannerman and her co-designing daughter Teddy (the label’s namesake), being an exceptional, respected artisanal cashmere label begins with tapping into what’s happening at the top of the industry, and ends with impeccable feel, fashionality, fit, and finish.

Teddy Cashmere’s wardrobe essentials are masterworks of generational Italian craftsmanship and know-how. The looks combine unmatched production quality with the wearability and styling versatility today’s luxury fashion devotees expect and demand. The precisely sized classic silhouettes are created specifically for real women’s bodies and designed purposefully to complement the most celebrated looks from the fashion world’s most revered labels.

“Fashion is my life's work and passion – it’s been a 40-year love affair,” says Wendy. “The opportunity to co-design with my daughter and running a label that bears her name is priceless. Together, we scour the latest and greatest in luxury fashion to identify opportunities and needs in the market. Then, we design specifically to the white space we identified.”

Teddy notes, “We’ve found that many collections by the industry’s most respected names weren’t actually wearable by real women in the real world. We strive to make wearability and fit a real point of differentiation for our Teddy Cashmere brand.”

The Teddy Cashmere difference lies in the extraordinary details. Pieces hit at the right point on the body; dusters reach extravagant lengths; the cashmere’s gage exudes a soothing coolness, dramatically draping to highlight the most timely and relevant luxury designer color-ways. Production is done in small runs, minimizing wastage and maximizing sustainability with supply chain traceability – the opposite of fast fashion.

For centuries, cashmere has been synonymous with refined luxury and quintessential style. Today’s impeccably dressed woman turns to Teddy Cashmere for cashmere that is all it can and should be.
