cashmere production

Cashmere is one of the highest quality types of wool in the world. The wool is obtained from the so-called fine hair of cashmere goats. Cashmere only makes up 0.2% of the world's animal fibers. The exclusivity of cashmere hair is due to the special climatic conditions at altitudes of around 4000 meters. Every spring, when the winter coat changes, the goats' fine undercoat is combed out.

Only about 150 grams of undercoat are obtained from each goat each year. The fiber fineness is between 15 and 19 micrometers. In comparison, human hair is 70-100 micrometers fine. It is softer, lighter and can be up to three times more insulating than sheep's wool.

Why our cashmere?

1. We insist on the sustainable and healthy production of cashmere

Based on US and EU organic regulations and standards, our supplier breeds cashmere goats according to the "Natural Green Concept" and is certified with the Control Union Organic Cashmere Farm, making it the first and currently only organic cashmere farm in the world .

Since 2018, our supplier has been conducting regular feedback events on the goat farms and providing training on breeding techniques and animal welfare and ensuring the animals have proper nutrition and environmental conditions.

Under ICCAW and SFA guidelines and practices, caring for goats becomes a way of life. Each year, at the right time of year and in the right environment, herders collect the cashmere fibres that the goats will soon shed.

2. Absolutely Premium Raw Cashmere

Our cashmere comes from the Albas cashmere goat, a typical desert steppe sheep whose average fibers have a diameter of 15.8 μm and a length of 40 mm, which is called a “ fiber diamond ”.

3. Fair Trade

Fair trade is a matter close to our hearts. Our supplier in Inner Mongolia works directly with the local shepherds and conducts individual contracts and purchases of wool with them. This means that the entire supply chain from the cashmere goat to your home is documented and archived. Without dozens of middlemen, as is unfortunately often the case in the fashion industry.

4. Processing of wool using the most modern means

Our supplier has brand new and state-of-the-art Italian spinning machines and equipment, most precise Italian craftsmanship and production processes, and top professional Italian yarn designers.
