“Cashmere” by Rita Ora

What is the meaning of the word cashmere as used in this song?
The keyword in this song is the word “cashmere”. And what’s it? It is a kind of fiber or wool that is softer, lighter, stronger and finer than the traditional wool. It is used in making a plethora of clothing ranging from sweaters to scarves.
From the lyrics above, Ora is talking about literally leaving her cashmere-made clothing on her lover’s bed. She lets us know the color of the garment. However, she doesn’t mention the kind of clothing. Was it a sweater? Was it a scarf? Was it underwear? Unfortunately the listener never gets the opportunity to know.
But it wasn’t only her clothing she left behind. In verse 2, she also mentions leaving a mark on her lover’s neck.
In all, Ora enjoyed a wonderful night with that special person. And now she can’t wait to enjoy another one with him.
