Fabric to Product: The Journey of Lomanthang Cashmere
At Lomanthang Cashmere, we believe that luxury is created with care, precision, and respect for nature. Our cashmere products go through a meticulous and traditional process that reflects our values of sustainability, community support, and authenticity. Here’s a look at how we transform raw cashmere fibers into the luxurious products you love:
1. Hand Linking
The journey begins with the linking of the cashmere fibers. This process connects individual threads to form a strong, durable foundation. Each link is done by hand to ensure the fibers blend seamlessly, creating a smooth texture that feels soft to the skin.
2. Hemming
Hemming involves finishing the edges of the fabric to prevent fraying. Our artisans take great care in this step to add precision and finesse, giving the fabric a clean, polished look that enhances the overall quality of the product.
3. Mending
Mending ensures that any imperfections are carefully fixed before moving forward. This step is vital for maintaining the integrity of the fabric and ensuring every product is flawless and long-lasting.
4. Hand Wash
We use a gentle, hand-wash process to cleanse the fabric and bring out its natural softness. By avoiding harsh chemicals, we preserve the fibers’ delicate nature while making sure they remain smooth and luxurious to the touch.
5. Hand Steam
Steam is used to refresh the fabric, eliminating any wrinkles and ensuring a uniform, consistent texture. The steam helps in setting the natural structure of the cashmere, enhancing its luxurious feel.
6. Hand Stitching & Labeling
Each product is carefully stitched by hand, with artisans paying close attention to every detail. Hand stitching ensures durability and strength while maintaining the delicate nature of the fabric. After stitching, each product is labeled with care, showcasing our commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
7. Hand Finishing
Finally, the product undergoes hand-finishing, where artisans check each item for any imperfections and make necessary adjustments. This final touch ensures every product meets our high standards of craftsmanship, ready to be enjoyed by our customers.
