About Cashmere
Cashmere is underdown, shed annually by goats living in the
high and dry plateaus surrounding the Gobi Desert of Mongolia
and China.
Because of these very cold conditions, the Cashmere goat has developed extremely sleek, soft, warm and silky under hair called the 'duvet' that hides beneath the relatively coarse outer hair, called the guard hair.
Every June the fleece of these very special goats is combed, collected and sorted by hand, a very time consuming and lengthy process. Indeed, it takes one of these rare goats four years to grow enough cashmere for just one
sweater. No wonder then, that cashmere is such a luxury fibre collected and desired by discerning men and women worldwide.
Cashmere's use as a luxury fibre can be dated back to Roman times. More recently, it was popularized by the Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III, who had the fibre woven in France into her famous 'ring shawl', so called
because this shawl could be drawn through her wedding ring.
For many years cashmere was manufactured in Scotland and Italy, however, in recent years its much of its manufacture has returned to its roots in Mongolia where they are able to employ the latest technology in manufacturing
cashmere into luxury clothing while still using the age old methods of collecting and sorting.
Mount Cashmere is very proud to sell cashmere from Mongolia & Nepal .the best cashmere in the world.
