The Softest & Best Quality
Inspired by Mongolia’s ever-changing climate, our products capture the essence of each season and the land that nurtures our fibers. GOBI brings you the softest cashmere, sourced directly from Mongolia, where the rugged terrain and dramatic shifts between harsh winters and warm summers enable goats to grow a naturally luxurious, thick coat of cashmere. To ensure the highest quality, GOBI selects only the top 5% of Mongolia’s total cashmere production, guaranteeing exceptional softness and durability in every piece.
When comparing cashmere quality by origin, Mongolia stands out for its unmatched softness and quality:
| Origin | Average Micron | Notable Feature |
|---|---|---|
Mongolia | 12.0 - 16.2 microns | Finest, softest due to harsh climate |
China | 15.5 – 17.5 microns | Coarser, shorter fibers |
Iran/Afghanistan | 16 – 18 microns | Thick, not as soft |
Trusted Cashmere with Full Traceability
Sustainability is not just a principle, it’s the foundation of everything we do. From herder partnerships to responsible manufacturing, we’ve built a vertically integrated supply chain that ensures transparency and minimizes environmental impact. Our cashmere begins its journey in the vast Mongolian landscapes, sourced directly from the region’s finest goats. Each fiber is carefully crafted by skilled artisans, with no middlemen involved ensuring that every step, from pasture to product, is managed, owned, and made right here in Mongolia. This connection to our roots empowers us to offer you not just cashmere, but a piece of Mongolia's heritage, woven with care and responsibility.
