Why Inner Mongolian Cashmere?
The World’s Most Celebrated Source of Cashmere
Inner Mongolia is widely regarded as one of the finest cashmere-producing regions in the world.
Its harsh winters, dry climate, and vast grasslands create the ideal environment for cashmere goats to develop an exceptionally soft and insulating undercoat.
The fibers produced in this region are known for their remarkable fineness, durability, and natural warmth—qualities that make Inner Mongolian cashmere highly sought after by luxury brands worldwide.
At AVREN, we carefully select premium Inner Mongolian cashmere to create timeless essentials that combine comfort, craftsmanship, and everyday elegance.

How Cashmere Is Collected
Collected By Hand, Once Each Spring
Unlike ordinary wool, cashmere is not sheared.
Each spring, cashmere goats naturally shed their soft undercoat as temperatures rise.
During this short season, herders gently comb the fine fibers by hand, carefully separating the precious cashmere from the coarser outer hair.
This traditional method is both humane and sustainable, helping preserve the health of the goats while ensuring the highest quality fibers.
The collected cashmere is then cleaned, sorted, and prepared for the next stage of craftsmanship.
How Cashmere Becomes Yarn
From Raw Fiber To Refined Yarn
After collection, the raw cashmere is carefully cleaned and sorted to remove coarse fibers and impurities.
The finest fibers are then selected and transformed into soft, durable yarn through a precise spinning process.
This stage determines the texture, strength, and quality of the final product.
By combining traditional expertise with modern craftsmanship, premium cashmere is transformed into yarn that is exceptionally soft, lightweight, and made to last.
