I went to Uniglo's flagship store in NY, and I don't see what all the hype is about. They had walls stacked high with generic cashmere sweaters for $89. Low-grade cashmere that is quite obviously cultivated in an environmentally unsustainable manner.

I think it is wrong that mid-range labels are attempting to bring cashmere into the affordable price range for mass market consumption, which is creating an envioronmental disaster in Mongolia.

Only a few brands such as Loro Piana do cashmere right.
