Kanchan Cashmere

Who we are, what we stand for, and how we work.

Who we are

Kanchan Cashmere is a house devoted to the art of refined knitwear. Founded in Kathmandu in 2008, we have always stood at a rare intersection: the mastery of Italian yarn innovation and the enduring artistry of Nepalese hand-finishing. This dialogue between two traditions gives our garments both structural integrity and a quiet soul — a balance that defines every piece we create.

From the world’s most respected mills, we source yarns that are not only luxurious but also traceable and certified, ensuring a foundation of responsibility and trust. In our Kathmandu atelier, these yarns are entrusted to skilled hands. Each garment is shaped patiently on hand-flat machines, linked stitch by stitch with precision, and finished with a discipline that only time and care can deliver.

We are not a factory; we are an atelier — a place where ideas are distilled into garments with clarity, proportion, and restraint. Our approach is meticulous yet quiet, more concerned with the longevity of a piece than with fleeting gestures of trend. To us, knitwear is not seasonal fashion, but a companion to be lived in, worn often, and cherished for years.

This is the essence of Kanchan Cashmere: to create garments that speak softly yet endure strongly — an offering of patience, refinement, and permanence in a world too often driven by haste.

Philosophy

Luxury as patience

True luxury is not loud, it is measured. We create knitwear with balance, proportion, and restraint — pieces made to be companions over time, not commodities of the season.

Sustainability commitments

We extend our responsibility across traceable yarns, certified sourcing, eco-packaging, and OEKO-certified trims — ensuring that refinement and responsibility move together.

“Luxury is patience made tangible.”
