What Is Cashmere?

Luxury, premium, sumptuous... these three words are synonymous with cashmere. But what is cashmere? Why is cashmere so expensive? What makes cashmere so special?

We believe there’s space in every wardrobe for a beautifully made piece of cashmere- The benefits of choosing to invest in a stylish cashmere garment are endless. The divine softness and indulgent feel of our cashmere garments are beyond compare, as it takes four Mongolian goats to make our garments as wearable and timeless as they are stylish.

Cashmere is only harvested from goats in very cold climates. It's not produced in Scotland nor anywhere in Europe as it's not cold enough for long enough. It also comes from one particular goat, the capra hircus goat. These goats grow a double fleece (for insulation) consisting of a fine, fleecy undercoat with a coarse outer coating called guard hair. Thankfully for us, the guard hair protects the soft undercoat - this is where we harvest our cashmere fibre from.
