Low-MOQ cashmere knitwear, scarves and gifts made in Inner Mongolia with your labels, colours and packaging — from sampling to worldwide shipping.
We make cashmere for the brands big factories turn away — the small labels, the buyer shops, the people who care about getting a small run exactly right.
Five years on the Ordos plateau has taught us one thing: starting small isn't a problem to tolerate, it's how good brands are built. So that's what we're set up to do.
Ordos sits on a cold, dry plateau in Inner Mongolia. Cashmere goats raised in this climate develop a fine insulating undercoat, which is combed and graded locally. Our location gives us direct access to fibre and yarn suppliers in the region.
We source fibre and yarn through suppliers and graders in the Ordos region.
Fineness and length are checked first, so the hand-feel stays consistent.
We coordinate knitting, linking, washing and finishing in our workshop and with established specialist partners. Finished pieces are measured and inspected before packing, with inspection photos available before shipment.
We send you inspection photos before anything leaves the workshop.
OEKO-TEX® yarn options and fibre-content testing can be provided according to the order specification.
The circles below are drawn to true relative scale. Finer fibre is what makes cashmere feel like cashmere — and it's the first thing we grade for.
