Close your eyes for a minute and imagine yourself with your hands wrapped around a steaming mug of coffee on a cool morning, luxuriating in the brush of cashmere on your bare skin. This is what Jenni Kayne does best — lush comfort, luxe fabrics, and timeless craftsmanship. Her sweaters are an investment wardrobe staple complimenting all kinds of bodies and lasting a lifetime. But with a number of Jenni Kayne’s sweaters falling in the $300–$500 range, they may fall out of budget for some of us. If you’re longing for Jenni Kayne’s commitment to sustainability and quiet luxury but at a lower price point, or even if you’re just curious what other brands are doing similar work, we’ve rounded up five sustainable sweater dupes to give you that quintessential cozy feeling.

If you want your cashmere to be 100% ethically sourced directly from Mongolian herding communities, then NAADAM is the company for you. Started in 2013 by two college friends who traveled to Mongolia’s Gobi Desert and saw how traditional cashmere traders hike prices and hoard profits, the brand decided to change the industry by investing directly in herding communities and cutting out middlemen. The result is a transparent business model using circular design principles to produce premium cashmere at affordable prices. NAADAM offers a wide variety of contemporary designs, from quarter zips to cardigans. Fun fact: Their cashmere comes from the Zalaa Jinst white goat, the only completely white breed of cashmere goat in the whole of Mongolia.
