Cashmere in Mongolia
Buying cashmere goods from Mongolia directly supports local families.
Companies such as Gobi Cashmere have traceable sourcing from around 3,000 herding families.
After winter, cashmere goats are hand-combed to remove their shedding undercoats.
You can find stylish clothing and accessories on the Gobi Cashmere site: https://www.gobicashmere.com/us/
Erdenet Cashmere is another local producer of high-quality cashmere goods: http://www.erdenetcashmere.mn/company.html
Participating in the Sustainable Fibre Alliance, Goyol Cashmere creates luxurious clothing and accessories. They even make sweaters for dogs! www.goyolcashmere.mn
The best way to shop is to come in person, of course! Be sure to subscribe to our site and follow us on social media for travel opportunities.
We encourage you to shop sustainably and not for “fast fashion”. It is better to purchase a few select items of high quality that you will use for many years.
Other fibers
In addition to Mongolia’s luxurious goods made from cashmere or sheep’s wool, one can also find fantastically soft camel hair coats, or toasty-warm sweaters and accessories made of yak down. Also shop for beautiful slippers made from felted sheep’s wool.
Be sure to visit the local stores from a variety of brands, and remember to leave space in your luggage for delightful finds for yourself and others!
