Authentic cashmere is a very fine fibre made from the hair of goats in the Himalaya region of Kashmir in India. Cashmere is the fine soft undercoat of the Changthangi (Kashmir Pashmina) cashmere goat. This free range goat thrives in cold mountainous regions where it produces a luxurious two-coated fleece as a result of harsh weather conditions. Only the finest under fibres are used for scarves, stoles and cashmere fabric.
