Himalayan cashmere refers to cashmere wool sourced from the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas, particularly from the Ladakh region in India. This exquisite material is derived from the soft undercoat of the Changthangi goats, native to these harsh, cold climates. The goats grow this fine wool to withstand temperatures as low as -40°C, making it exceptionally warm, soft, and lightweight.

The Himalayan terrain, combined with traditional herding and shearing practices, results in some of the finest and most authentic cashmere available. The wool is painstakingly collected during the natural molting season, ensuring both the welfare of the animals and the quality of the fiber.
