ABOUT US
Heirloom Cashmere Australia is a boutique Australian family business founded in 2013. We are located in beautiful riverside Warrandyte in Melbourne, Australia.
WHAT IS CASHMERE?
Cashmere is the natural fibre collected from the underbelly of Capra Hircus goats found in the Himalayan and Mongolian regions. Such altitude and climate evolved the animals with superior heat insulation abilities. In spring after a harsh winter, goat herders harvest the fleece by gently combing (not shearing) the animals to preserve the pristine integrity of cashmere.
Cashmere is the finest, softest and warmest natural fibres.
WHY CASHMERE?
Cashmere is a natural and renewable resource. With a genuine piece of cashmere, you feel the natural warmth as soon as you put on. It is lightweight and yet provides incredible heat insulation that can be used all year round. Cashmere is breathable, naturally hypoallergenic, temperature-regulating, moisture wicking and does not require frequent cleaning.
We inspire to bring you the superior quality and comfort of cashmere, when care for, will be cherished for a lifetime.
WHO MADE THEM?
All our cashmere products are designed in Melbourne and made by family-based small makers in Kathmandu (Nepal) and Inner Mongolia (China). These regions complement each other with the highest quality cashmere the world has to offer. Each piece is spun and woven skilfully in a painstakingly long process and each step involves heavy hand processes that take years to master.
We design, collaborate with these long-trusted family makers directly and by keeping our overheads low and distribution model lean, we pass on the incredible value and beautiful quality to you.
OUR GROWTH & MODEL
From a humble beginning in 2013 with just a few baby blankets, we found our way into your homes and have since warmed thousands of babies in Australia and around the world. A baby brand first and foremost, our current offerings include a classic range of cashmere for her/him.
We are a seasonless slow design brand and operate on a small-batches on-demand production model. Each piece we introduce is a considered timeless design, one we know you will love today or a decade from now. Our original baby blankets are still here (still our best-sellers more than a decade later) - the definition of classic pieces that stood the test of time.
Our collections are evergreen and available all year round. With a lean production and distribution model, our cashmere is fairly priced without a hefty margin and will never be 'last season' or heavily discounted so you have peace of mind buying from us.
We hope you and your little one love our cashmere, and continue to pass on to the next child and the next generation - an heirloom as it is meant to be.
Thank you for choosing quality, heritage, integrity and love. x
