Land & Animals

We are focused on understanding Mongolian culture and history, the nomadic herders themselves and their lives, their goats, and their livelihoods.

  • Through education we are working with locals to understand the importance of agricultural diversity and maintain the feasibility of farming the land in the future.

    Due to the lengthy winter season, Mongolian cashmere hairs are on average around 20% longer than in any other region. This reflects its high quality and softness - the longer the hair length the better quality.

    The goats moult naturally in Spring and when this process starts happening, we ensure each goat is individually and gently combed by hand (so no shearing or electricity are being used) by the herder’s family. They consider these goats their worldly possessions, so they always ensure they are treated as such. The cashmere hair is then sorted in colours and put into canvas bags ready for our approved traders to collect and transport to our factory traders to collect and transport to our factory.

Our mission is to ensure that all of our nomadic goat herders hold animal welfare certifications, regulated by the Sustainable Fibre Alliance (SFA), guaranteeing the health and safety of our goats and the sustainability of the land.
