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.

Crafting with Care: A Responsible Production Process

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.

Dehairing

Gently separating the soft undercoat from coarser hairs with precision to preserve fiber integrity and minimize waste.

Dyeing

Using eco-friendly dyes and minimizing water consumption, supported by responsible wastewater management to safeguard local resources.

Spinning

Employing energy-efficient technology and rigorous quality control to protect the natural softness and strength of the fiber.

Weaving & Knitting

Expert craftsmanship that reduces material waste through careful programming, shaping on hand-flat machines, and precise linking.

Finishing

Measured washing and pressing that enhance durability and feel, extending the life of every piece.

Conscious Care

Gentle handwashing in cold water, air drying flat, and mindful storage conserve resources and preserve softness.

Longevity in Wear

Rotate pieces, avoid abrasion from bags or jewelry, and refresh seasonally. With proper care, cashmere accompanies you for decades.
