God's True Cashmere is not just another celebrity brand – Brad Pitt's label makes shirts designed to last years, explains jewellery designer and co-founder Sat Hari
When God's True Cashmere launched in 2019 with a small collection of overshirts – the kind worn by lumberjacks in the American West and hipster types around the world – it was tempting to dismiss it as yet another 'celebrity brand'. Founded by actor Brad Pitt and jewellery designer Sat Hari, the label started out as a passion project between two long-time friends who felt that there would be a market for plaid shirts made of the finest cashmere and embellished with precious stones that also functioned as buttons. As Hari has shared in the past, the idea for the label came to her in a dream in which she gave Pitt a green shirt. It didn't take long for Pitt to come on board as co-founder of the brand, which since then has developed into a full line of beautifully made separates catering to in-the-know types who appreciate the lasting value of pieces that can be passed down from generation to generation. Advertisement We caught up with Hari in Paris, where the brand presents all its collections, including the recently released God's True Linen, made with another fabric that Hari believes can be just as nourishing and full of life as cashmere. God's True Cashmere autumn/winter 2025. Photo: Handout God's True Cashmere has expanded gradually. Was that the plan from day one? Yes, intentionally, from the very beginning, the whole idea was to very slowly and steadily grow the brand – have a very strong foundation and then slowly start building the walls and the stairs and windows and anything else. The idea was to start with a shirt, make sure we make something that's quality and sustainable – unisex – and that really has the love that we put into every single piece, that it is translatable to the world, that people touch it and they feel there's so much intention in the pieces. Why start with a cashmere shirt instead of a cashmere jumper? A long time ago, maybe 15 years or so ago, a client of mine gave me a shirt. It was a woven shirt. The shape of the shirt wasn't very good but the material itself was really interesting. I really loved that shirt and had it for many years. I tried to find somebody else to [make] it. I would constantly be looking online to try and find a shirt that was like that. The manufacturer had stopped making them so I couldn't buy another one. Years and years had passed, and when I had that dream about Brad, I thought to myself, instead of getting a sweater, a regular jumper, I wanted to make him something that was really special, something that he could wear all the time, that would last, that he would feel really 'loved' him. God's True Cashmere are now expanding beyond cashmere. Photo: Handout How did Brad react when you suggested starting a label?

France museum-goer eats million-dollar banana taped to wall
A visitor to a French museum bit into a fresh banana worth millions of dollars taped to a wall last week, exhibitors said on Friday, in the latest such consumption of the conceptual artwork. Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan – whose provocative creation titled Comedian was bought for US$6.2 million in New York last year – said he was disappointed the person did not also eat the skin and the tape. After the hungry visitor struck on Saturday last week, 'security staff rapidly and calmly intervened', the Pompidou-Metz museum in eastern France said. The work was 'reinstalled within minutes', it added. 'As the fruit is perishable, it is regularly replaced according to instructions from the artist.' 01:46 Infamous duct-taped banana eaten by crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun Infamous duct-taped banana eaten by crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun Cattelan noted the banana-eater had 'confused the fruit for the work of art'.
