Basic Cashmere Knowledge
Cashmere, often referred to as “soft gold,” is a fiber that transcends fashion to become a symbol of timeless elegance and unparalleled comfort. Derived from the undercoat of cashmere goats, particularly those native to regions like the Himalayas, the material is celebrated for its exceptional softness and lightweight warmth.
What sets cashmere apart is not just its sumptuous feel against the skin but also the meticulous process involved in its production. The fibers are carefully combed and sorted, ensuring that only the finest and longest strands are selected. This attention to detail results in a material that is not only luxurious but also durable, standing the test of time.

Utilizing plant-based dyes extracted from leaves, flowers, and roots, our eco-dyeing process not only yields a rich spectrum of colors but also ensures that each hue is a testament to the earth-friendly ethos we champion. As we immerse our fabrics in these natural pigments, we celebrate the beauty of sustainable artistry, where every stroke of color reflects a commitment to both aesthetic elegance and environmental responsibility.
