About Cashmere

It is said that the quality of cashmere greatly depends on where the cashmere goat lives. The harsher the climate, better the quality of the cashmere; the best climate being minus 30 – 40℃ in winter and 30℃ in summer. Therefore, it is essential to specify the origin of the cashmere if you are looking for the best quality. Cashmere is unique for keeping the external air out while storing the heat inside. It also functionally absorbs and releases moisture in the atmosphere. The surface of the cashmere fiber is coated with scale-like cuticles with few bumps. This surface allows light to reflect without bending and to create its exquisite shimmer. Compared to other animal fibers, the flexibility and resilience of cashmere is more than 40% higher. This is another characteristic which makes cashmere products resilient from losing its original shape.

Pure cashmere yarn

Cashmere is our classic fabric which we use for sweaters. For our 19AW season, cashmere is used in 6 styles. The fabrics are from Mongolia Autonomous Region in China and we take care in selecting the best area among this region. Each cashmere yarn is dyed and spun one color at a time to create its unique softness and exquisite texture.
