What is cashmere?

Cashmere comes from the soft undercoat of cashmere goats. In Mongolia, the fibre is commonly collected by combing during the spring shedding season.

From fibre to knitwear

After collection, cashmere is sorted, cleaned, and dehaired to separate the fine undercoat from coarser guard hair. The prepared fibre is spun into yarn, then knitted into garments and accessories.

A distinctive feel

The fine fibres give cashmere its soft touch. Knit structure, yarn, finishing, and garment weight all influence how a piece feels and wears.

A little care matters

Resting, gentle cleaning, and folded storage help keep the shape and surface of your favourite pieces. Follow the garment label and read our cashmere care guide.
