Why Mongolian & Himalayan Cashmere Is the Ultimate Luxury Fibre

When it comes to luxury textiles, very few fibres can rival the character of Mongolian and Himalayan cashmere.

For centuries, this remarkable fibre has been synonymous with refinement and comfort, first in royal courts and now in considered, design-led homes around the world. The story of true luxury cashmere begins high in the mountains. In the Himalayan and Mongolian plateaus, winters are long, dry and brutally cold.
