Why Lomanthang Cashmere?
During our founder’s visit to Lomanthang, he experienced a profound emotional and spiritual connection with the local people, known as lobbas, and the region’s unique vegetation. He was deeply inspired by the hardworking, grounded communities and the beautiful Himalayan goats, which motivated him to specifically promote the exceptional cashmere of Lomanthang.
Exceptional Quality Cashmere

The wool fibers are incredibly fine, typically ranging from 14 to 19 microns in diameter, which contributes to the unmatched softness and comfort. The weaving and production of cashmere are deeply intertwined with the cultural heritage of Mustang, where artisanal skills have been passed down through generations, shaping the identity of the local communities.
