Our Standards
A transparent framework of quality, compliance, and operational discipline.
Our standards combine global compliance, factory discipline, and a zero-loss quality strategy developed through years of premium production work.
Certifications & Compliance
We work with mills and partners aligned with global sustainability and compliance frameworks.
Our cashmere sourcing and production partners are aligned with leading global frameworks for animal welfare, environmental responsibility, recycled content and social compliance. For brands building long-term knitwear programs, this creates a clear foundation for luxury cashmere manufacturing in Nepal that can stand up to retail, wholesale and audit requirements across the USA, Canada, Europe and beyond.
As a specialist cashmere manufacturer in Nepal, we do not treat standards as a marketing layer. They are embedded into our sourcing decisions, factory systems, and daily production so that every capsule, core collection and hero piece is supported by verifiable, practical compliance.
Fibre & Animal Welfare
Standards such as SFA and RWS focus on animal welfare, land management and full-farm traceability for responsibly sourced cashmere.
Organic & Recycled Content
GOTS and GRS support organic fibres and controlled recycled content, helping brands build capsule collections with clear sustainability narratives.
Chemical & Social Safety
OEKO-TEX and SEDEX frameworks help ensure that chemistry, worker safety and ethical practices are aligned with international expectations.
Yarn & Material Standards
Every cashmere program starts with the right yarn. We evaluate micron, fibre length, twist, dye behaviour and recovery after washing to ensure that each quality – from 100% cashmere to blends and recycled content – performs as a true luxury material in real wear.
Every program — from a 50-piece capsule to a 5,000-piece roll-out — starts with a yarn choice that matches the brand’s positioning. Our internal evaluations focus on longevity in real wardrobes, not just showroom samples, so that luxury cashmere knitwear maintains its handle and structure over many wears.
| Category | Focus | Application |
|---|---|---|
| 100% Cashmere | Micron, fibre length, twist & pilling behaviour | Core sweaters, cardigans, accessories and heirloom pieces |
| Baby Cashmere | Ultra-soft handle and lightweight construction | Premium capsules, special editions, limited runs |
| Recycled Cashmere | Traceable pre/post-consumer streams and blend ratios | Sustainability stories and conscious collections |
| Cashmere/Silk & Blends | Drape, luminosity and all-season performance | Trans-seasonal knitwear, layering pieces, travel sets |
Production Standards
Our production workflow is structured around consistency, control, and clarity.
Each style passes through a defined sequence of patterning, knitting, linking, washing, finishing and final QC. This is how we protect the hand-feel, colour depth and structural integrity that modern luxury cashmere customers expect, whether they discover the garment in-store or online.
Fully-Fashioned Construction
Precision cashmere knitting with controlled tension for cleaner seams, better drape, and longer garment life.
Finishing Discipline
Controlled wash recipes, hand-linking, measured steaming, and structured knitwear QC for consistent hand-feel.
Consistent Measurements
Size sets, grading logic, and tolerance bands aligned with luxury brand expectations and regional fit standards.
Gauge & Shrinkage Control
Gauge-specific shrinkage libraries and relaxation tests to keep bulk production aligned with approved PP and SMS samples.
Our Zero-Loss Quality Strategy
A defined system ensuring premium quality while protecting financial sustainability.
The goal is simple: deliver luxury cashmere without hidden factory losses. When sampling, rework and wastage are controlled, production remains stable, and brands can rely on us season after season. These internal guardrails are monitored through our K21 system and are applied consistently, regardless of program size.
- Sampling Cost: ≤ 10% of program value
- Rework Threshold: ≤ 3%
- Yarn Wastage: ≤ 1.8%
- Minimum Contribution Margin: ≥ 22%
- Payment Discipline: 50% advance + 50% before shipment
- Weekly Loss Tracking: K21 review across labour, idle machines, air freight and penalties
Quality Control & Risk Management
We combine inline checks with AQL-based final inspections so that quality issues are prevented rather than corrected at the end. Each stage has defined control points and documentation to keep risk under control.
| Control Point | Focus | Example Checks |
|---|---|---|
| Inline Knitting | Tension, stitch consistency | Gauge checks, panel measurements, yarn lot verification |
| Linking & Make-Up | Seam quality, alignment | Neckline shape, armhole balance, symmetry |
| Wash & Finishing | Shrinkage, handle, colour | Relaxation measures, handle comparison to sealed sample |
| Final AQL 2.5 | Overall product readiness | Visual inspection, measurements, label & packing checks |
Timelines & Deliverables
Clear critical paths from sampling to shipment.
| Stage | Deliverable | Typical Lead Time |
|---|---|---|
| Proto | Fit-ready proto | 7–14 days |
| Size Set | Graded size set | 7–10 days |
| SMS | Bulk-true SMS | 10–18 days |
| PP Sample | Sealed PP | 7–12 days |
| Bulk Production | Finished goods | 6–10 weeks |
Timelines are always confirmed against yarn readiness, gauge allocation and program size. This keeps ex-factory dates realistic rather than optimistic, supporting reliable cashmere deliveries to the USA, Canada, Europe and other markets.
Documentation & Transparency
Every style follows a defined documentation trail, ensuring clarity for both teams.
People, Safety & Workplace Discipline
Behind every cashmere sweater is a team of knitters, linkers, finishers and quality controllers. We invest in long-term relationships, safe working conditions and structured training so that skills stay inside the factory and our standards improve season after season.
Skilled Teams
Dedicated knitting, linking, finishing and QC teams with focused experience in cashmere only.
Safe Workplace
Clear safety rules, monitored workspaces and a culture of long-term employment rather than seasonal turnover.
Structured Training
On-floor training for new gauges, stitches and finishing techniques tied to upcoming collections and programs.
Packaging & Labelling
Premium packaging aligned with brand identity and sustainability preferences.
Brand Labels
Woven and satin labels produced to client artwork and fibre content requirements, aligned with local regulations in key markets.
Hangtags & Inserts
Custom hangtags, care cards and storytelling inserts that reinforce each brand’s values, origin story and cashmere narrative.
Eco Packaging
Bio polybags, recycled cartons and optimised packing densities to reduce waste while protecting delicate cashmere knitwear in transit.
Standards & Compliance – FAQ
A brief overview of how our standards translate into day-to-day work with luxury brands and cashmere programs.
Can you support brand audits and buyer compliance checks?
Yes. We maintain documentation, process overviews and factory-level data to support buyer audits and compliance reviews. This includes production flow charts, sample records, AQL procedures and certification documents, helping your teams validate cashmere production standards in Nepal.
How do you manage repeat orders and long-term programs?
Sealed PP samples, recorded wash recipes and digital measurement archives allow consistent repeats across seasons and colourways. Once a style is established, we treat it as a long-term asset and keep all data required to repeat it accurately with the same cashmere manufacturer in Nepal.
Are standards the same for all buyers and order sizes?
Our internal quality and Zero-Loss framework remain constant for every buyer. Specific brand requirements — from labelling rules to additional tests — are layered on top, but the base discipline in knitting, finishing and QC does not change between small capsules and larger bulk programs.
Do the same standards apply to protos, SMS and capsules?
Yes. Protos, SMS and small capsules follow the same measurement logic, wash processes and QC approach as larger orders. This means that early development accurately represents how bulk knitwear will behave, avoiding surprises when collections arrive in store.
How do your standards support luxury positioning at retail?
Our standards are designed for luxury cashmere knitwear: clean seams, balanced drape, stable sizing and carefully controlled finishes. When combined with responsible sourcing and clear documentation, they help brands justify higher price points and build long-term trust with customers.
