Custom Cashmere
I absolutely adore cashmere! It’s so soft ! So I was pretty exited when I found out about Trendy Workshop.
Trendy Workshop is a french fashion platform that allows users to design and buy their own clothing, but also share their designs with other users within the Trendy Workshop community.
Right now, it’s all about cashmere. So the clothes one creates are solely made out of cashmere. But according to co-founder, Tristan de Montebello, the offer will be broadened with cotton this spring. Besides the limitation of the fabric, the clothes one can design are nowadays only restricted to those of the upper body (tops, sweaters, dresses). However it’s a very nice idea, that works around three major goals: create, buy and share! For the moment 100% French, so deliveries only in France.
Below are two videos in which co-founder Tristan de Montebello explains the concept of Trendy Workshop. Although the first one is in French, you’d better listen carefully as he also gives some nice washing and ironing tips for cashmere clothing.

In this second video, a nice quote from Tristan de Montebello, which stresses the need for user input and user research: “Listening to the community will get us to be the best!”
