Cashmere was known as early as the Roman Empire. Traders particularly brought the famous imperator scarves or “pashminas”, woven from the finest cashmere, from Shrinigar and Kashmir over the Silk Road to Europe.

Even today, the precious fibre is still made from the fleece of cashmere goats kept by nomads in the higher regions of central Mongolia.

It is only on these barren, storm-torn highlands, with temperatures reaching minus 40 degrees in the winter, that the Cashmere goats produce the extremely soft and fine fleece, the so-called “tiflit”. No other material is as delicate and soft, as warm and light as cashmere.
