Inner Mongolia is renowned as the birthplace of the world’s finest cashmere wool. The region’s harsh climate, with extreme cold, helps goats grow soft, warm undercoats, which is what cashmere is made from. Nomadic herders in Inner Mongolia have been raising cashmere goats for centuries, carefully combing their coats in spring to collect the luxurious fiber. The area’s unique geography and long tradition of herding have established it as the leading global producer, supplying about 60-70% of the world’s cashmere.
Historically, Inner Mongolia’s herders mastered the art of harvesting and processing cashmere, maintaining its reputation for exceptional softness and quality. Today, sustainable practices are increasingly important to preserve the region’s fragile ecosystems.
This rich history and expertise make Inner Mongolia synonymous with high-quality cashmere.
