At Baina Cashmere, our commitment to quality begins at the source. Each year, we travel deep into the cold, high-altitude regions of China — including Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Qinghai, and Tibet — to work directly with local herders and hand-select the finest raw cashmere fibers.
But our standards go beyond softness and fineness. We carefully assess the ethical practices of each herder, the living conditions of the goats, and the sustainability of their breeding methods. Every decision is guided by our core principles of animal welfare and environmental responsibility.
We only collect cashmere from goats that naturally shed their fleece in spring — a gentle, seasonal molting process similar to how pets lose hair in warmer months. Thoughtful combing during this time helps goats stay healthy and comfortable. Supported by veterinary guidance, this approach ensures the well-being of the animals while preserving the rare and precious fiber they provide. Without careful collection, this natural resource would be lost to the wind.
At Baina Cashmere, we firmly reject any practices involving live-plucking, skinning, or slaughter for the sake of cashmere production. All of our fibers are sourced exclusively through natural shedding or responsible shearing — methods that are humane, traceable, and aligned with the highest ethical and environmental standards.
Integrity is at the heart of everything we do. We meticulously select only premium raw materials while honoring our social and environmental responsibilities. Each strand of yarn — and every finished product — reflects our unwavering commitment to quality, ethics, and sustainability.
