Our Journey Continues To The Land Of The Eternal Blue Sky
Where there are over 250 sunny (but very cold) days a year
Welcome to Alashan the westernmost province of Inner Mongolia
This is where the journey of our Cocoa Cashmere starts
Every garment from Cocoa Cashmere originates from the Cocoa Farm, a collective of 78 herding families supported by Cocoa Cashmere
In Summer the Cocoa Farm nomadic herders patiently shear every single goat, to collect the finest cashmere from their underbelly
Due to the extreme temperatures at high altitude, the goats in Alashan are known for their very white, fine long fibre. This allows the Cocoa Cashmere team in London to design garments using very clear vibrant colours, dyed from a very white base yarn.
