From Ordos, Inner Mongolia — The World's Finest Cashmere
Born at 39°N latitude, 1,300m elevation. Where the Albus goat grazes on pristine plateau grasslands.
Geographic Advantage
Ordos sits in the heart of Inner Mongolia, on the eastern edge of the Kubuqi Desert. The region's unique geography — high altitude, cold winters, and arid plateau grasslands — creates ideal conditions for cashmere goats to develop the longest, finest, warmest underdown.
The annual temperature swing (from -28°C in winter to 28°C in summer) stimulates goats to grow the finest fibers, with mean diameter of 14.5-16.5μm — significantly finer than cashmere from other regions.
