- WHY SCOTTISH CASHMERE?
A lot of people wonder why Scottish Cashmere is the most luxurious, or indeed authentic, when in fact the cashmere comes from the frigid Plateaus of Mongolia and China.
Like Belgian Chocolate, English Tea or Russian Silk, there are some things in life that have taken years to perfect, with tradition being built from the historic process itself, despite the raw material often coming from the other side of the world.
To some this may be just a romantic notion but the fact remains that the process of mastering the cashmere fiber for luxury western fashion was started by the Victorians. This tradition could only happen with the invention of spinning jenny in the UK and since the Industrial Revolution the Scottish mills that exist to this day remain the most reputable manufacturers of this wonderful fiber.
