The Origin - The Roof of the World.
Our story begins where other life ends. In the inaccessible highlands of the Himalayas, conditions prevail that make life nearly impossible. Temperatures that plunge to minus 40 degrees in winter. Winds that whip unchecked across the barren landscape.
Yet, it is here that nature’s miracle occurs. To survive in this hostile environment, the Capra Hircus goat has developed an evolutionary shield: an undercoat of incomparable fineness growing beneath its coarse outer hair. It is not wool in the conventional sense. It is an insulating layer of air—lighter than a breath, warmer than anything man could artificially create.
Our fiber originates in the remote heights of Upper Mustang, Nepal, at over 4,500 meters, where nomadic families tend small herds of often just 60 animals. Because a single goat gifts only 150 grams of the finest undercoat annually, every throw unites the precious yearly harvest of four lives.
