3. Styling & Product Advice

I need help choosing a cashmere color. Can someone help me?

Yes! We have a Cashmere Color Expert on staff to help you find the perfect shade for your skin tone or wardrobe. Just call us at 1-248-865-7789.

What is the difference between the Alashan 100% Cashmere Topper and the Cotton-Blend Topper?

While both lines are now unified under the Alashan Cashmere brand name, they offer two distinct fabric experiences:

  • The 100% Cashmere Topper: Previously known as Claudia Nichole, this is our signature luxe weight. It is exceptionally soft, providing classic warmth and a cloud-like feel. It is the gold standard for year-round elegance.

    The Cotton-Blend Topper: Previously known as Caroline Grace, this is a breathable 95% Cotton / 5% Cashmere blend. It offers the same iconic silhouette but with a lighter, crisper feel—perfect for warmer climates, transition seasons, or those who prefer a more structured, breezy drape.

What is Alashan Cashmere?

Alashan Cashmere is one of our most beloved brands, crafted from 100% Super Fine Inner Mongolian Cashmere — renowned for its exceptional softness, warmth, and longevity. We have carried Alashan Cashmere for years and consider it the gold standard in luxury knitwear. Our Cashmere Color Expert is available by phone to help you select the perfect shade for your wardrobe.

Will "One Size" items fit me?

Our toppers and kaftans are designed to be versatile. On petite frames, they appear longer and more generous; on sizes 2X–3X, they offer a chic, slightly shorter fit. Our kaftans can even be twisted and tied to adjust the length!

How do I find my size?

Sizing varies by designer and style. We recommend checking the individual product page for size-specific notes, as our team adds fit guidance for most items. If you are between sizes or shopping for a specific brand for the first time, our Concierge team is happy to help — just call us at 1-248-865-7789 or email info@paulaandchlo.com.

Can I return "Final Sale" items?

 No. Items marked Final Sale are truly final. We cannot permit returns, exchanges, or price adjustments on these items.

How do gift exchanges work?

We want the recipient to love their gift! They can exchange their item for another color or store credit within 30 days of delivery, provided it meets our return requirements. Please contact us with the gift giver's name and email address so we can locate the order.
