RESPONSIBILITY — QUIET INTEGRITY

Measured decisions, transparent sourcing, and respect for every hand in the chain.

Animal Welfare

Animal Welfare

Aligned with SFA principles and spinner-level standards, our sourcing model supports respectful herding practices, humane shearing, and careful fibre handling throughout the supply chain. Each partner adheres to environmental stewardship and community welfare guidelines, ensuring that the cashmere we use originates from systems that protect both the animals and the herder communities who sustain them.

  • SFA-aligned sourcing Traceable farm-to-cone documentation Supplier audits and annual renewals
Community

Community

We nurture our team and extended artisan network through fair wages, structured skill-development programs, and safe, well-supported workplaces. By investing in training, technical upskilling, and long-term career opportunities, we help preserve Nepal’s knitwear craftsmanship while ensuring that every individual involved in our production ecosystem is treated with dignity, respect, and economic stability.

  • Equal opportunity and training Skill-sharing across generations Support for artisan families
Sustainability

Sustainability

Every cone and every finished piece reflects our commitment to responsible production — minimizing waste, repurposing yarns, and preserving the integrity of true small-batch craftsmanship. We engineer consumption plans with precision, monitor yarn flow from cone to garment, and ensure leftover quantities are reclaimed for swatches, development samples, testing, or community support programs rather than entering the waste stream. By maintaining disciplined batch sizes and carefully managing shade bands, we reduce overproduction and protect the value of each fibre lot. This thoughtful approach allows us to honour the material, lower our environmental impact, and uphold the sustainable manufacturing standards that guide Kanchan Cashmere.

  • Zero-waste production Recycled yarn development Long-life garment philosophy
“True luxury is conscience made visible — honest in origin, careful in craft.”
