THE GOBI DESERT TREASURE
Alashan cashmere
Alashan cashmere is born in the heart of the Gobi Desert, where extreme temperatures give rise to extraordinarily fine fibers. Rare and exceptionally soft, this precious cashmere is crafted to create unique and timeless garments.
Discover cashmereA balance between quality, rarity, and environmental awareness.
A delicate collection
Cashmere is not shorn, but harvested through delicate hand-combing during the natural spring molting period.
A rare fiber
Each goat produces only 150–200 grams of usable sottovello per year. A limited quantity that underscores its rarity and value.
A tradition of research and discovery
In 1908, Mario Piacenza, mountaineer, pioneer and explorer, set out from Biella towards still unexplored mountain lands, beginning a story of discovery. That same spirit of exploration lives on today in the way we select the finest fibres, through journeys to their regions of origin and meetings with trusted local partners.
Behind every metre of our cashmere are families, traditions and an ancient bond between man and nature. Through the responsible selection of fibres, the protection of the Albas breed and support for local pastoral communities, we help preserve this heritage for future generations.
