Cashmere, Premium wool textile from Inner Mongolia, China

Cashmere fibers are collected from the soft undercoat of goats during their natural molting season through careful combing and sorting processes.

The production of cashmere wool originated in the Kashmir region between India and Pakistan, leading to its current name and global recognition.

Chinese and Mongolian herders maintain traditional methods of raising cashmere goats, contributing to the preservation of nomadic lifestyles.

Grade A cashmere contains fibers under 16.5 microns in diameter and measures at least 34 millimeters in length, ensuring superior quality garments.

Each cashmere goat produces only 150 grams of pure cashmere per year, requiring the wool from four goats to create one sweater.
