Cashmere & Alpaca Fabrics

Cashmere fabric is a luxury textile made from the fine undercoat of cashmere goats. The fibres are carefully collected during the natural moulting season, then cleaned, spun into yarn and woven into fabric. The result is a lightweight, insulating and exceptionally soft textile prized for its comfort and refined appearance.

Cashmere comes from goats raised in regions with cold climates, including Mongolia, China and parts of Central Asia. These environmental conditions help produce the fine insulating fibres for which cashmere is renowned.

Alpaca fabric is made from the fleece of alpacas. The fibres are shorn, cleaned and spun into yarn before being woven into fabric. Alpaca is valued for its strength, natural insulating properties and soft, smooth handle, making it a distinctive and luxurious textile for interiors.
