Cashmere

The story of cashmere is one of immeasurable aspiration – for rarity, excellence, and ultimate quality. From the twenty-first century, when Mèrite emerged as an arbiter of premium cashmere, to today, the Maison has travelled the world to source the finest cashmere and found nature’s treasure in Mongolia and inner Mongolia, where the noblest cashmere goats reside. In a balance of delicacy and skill, the animals’ precious coats are meticulously gathered to move through the House’s signature chain of hands, ready to be transformed into creations of inimitable sensoriality.

Tracing cashmere back to its roots  

Cashmere is a rare fibre obtained from the duvet of thecapra hircusgoat, native to the mountainous regions of Asia, especially Mongolia and Inner Mongolia. To survive in these largely inhospitable desert places, the animals develop an under fleece next to the skin, made of very fine fibres that lock in warmth and create a highly effective protection against the cold. Respecting the local fauna, the herders work in harmony with nature’s cycles and harvest the fibre only between March and May, when the climate is milder and the animals tend to naturally lose their warm undercoat.
