The Sustainability Journey in Cashmere

From pasture to prestige — responsible sourcing, careful craft, and garments made to endure.

Cashmere’s unparalleled softness and warmth have long made it the epitome of luxury. Yet, behind every garment lies a deeper story—one of responsibility, stewardship, and respect for nature. At Kanchan Cashmere, sustainability is not an afterthought, but the very foundation of our craft, ensuring that true luxury endures for generations to come.

Ethical Sourcing

Respecting Nature and Tradition

The journey begins on the vast grasslands of Mongolia and China, where the Capra hircus goat thrives. Traditional herding practices safeguard animal welfare and fragile ecosystems, preventing overgrazing and preserving biodiversity. By honoring these age-old methods, we ensure our raw cashmere is gathered responsibly and sustainably.

Each stage of transformation offers an opportunity to protect the planet. Our approach reduces environmental impact while upholding ethical labor standards, ensuring beauty and responsibility are woven together.
