How to care for your cashmere
The simple rituals that keep a good knit looking new for a decade — including the one mistake almost everyone makes.
Evelyn & Iris is a small American atelier in Nauvoo, Alabama. We make a tight collection of refined essentials in considered fabrics — cashmere, Italian wool, washed silk and crisp poplin — designed to outlast trends and feel like your own.
Four small collections, each cut from a single idea — pieces that work together, season after season.
The latest arrivals from the Autumn / Winter atelier — made in small runs, often one-of-a-kind.

Evelyn & Iris began in a back room in Walker County, Alabama — a daughter teaching her mother's old Bernina to keep up with a vision of a slower kind of wardrobe.
We work in small runs. We work with mills we know by name. We design clothes that ask less of you, and give more in return — a coat for a decade, a knit for the season after next.
Read Our StoryItalian wool, Mongolian cashmere, washed silk, organic poplin — sourced from mills with five-generation reputations.
Every pattern is graded across nine sizes and re-fit on real bodies before it leaves the studio.
We make 80 to 200 of each piece. When they're gone, they're gone — by design, not by accident.
Free mending for the lifetime of the garment. We'd rather you wore it for ten years than ten weeks.
Twelve looks photographed at golden hour on the streets of Birmingham — wool coats, leather boots, a single soft scarf.

Quietly the best cashmere I own. Soft like a baby blanket, but with a real shape that holds up after the wash.
Alisha actually answered my email about hem length. That kind of care is rare. The trousers are perfect.
