Is your cashmere ethically sourced?Updated 10 months ago

Our thousands of years of nomadic heritage and beautiful co-existing way of life gives us the most humane and ethical method to harvest cashmere.

After surviving the harsh Mongolian winter, a new season starts and with it a need to shed any excessive winter insulation. This is true for all native fur animals, but especially so for our renowned cashmere goats.

Nomads with years of expertise manually comb it out carefully, for it to regrow the next year. This helps remove the already loose finer undercoat hairs (which is the cashmere) and leaves the coarse overcoat intact. Combing, when done correctly, is a totally painless and the only cruelty-free method to process cashmere.
