The feel, warmth and beauty of cashmere is unrivaled. Very few fibers can elicit such emotion and excitement. This is what lured owner and founder, Donald Fox, into the industry over 25 years ago and what keeps him going.
In 2004, the third-generation textile company where he had worked for 11 years as the General Manager decided to close operations. It was an easy decision at that time to launch his own company, and Alashan Cashmere was born. The name Alashan honors the area in western Inner Mongolia that is home to the world's finest cashmere. Goats thrive in this harsh region that has the perfect combination of geography, climate, and diet to produce superior cashmere – long, fine, white fiber that embrace vibrant dyes and can be spun into the finest of yarns.
