 Cashmere has the property of accumulating body heat and insulating from the cold while being very breathable.
 It is an animal fiber, obtained from the long, silky hair of cashmere goats.
 It belongs to the family of endogenous tissues, the production and manufacture of which are limited to the sole geographical area of origin of goats, that is, a territory that stretches from northern Indian Kashmir to northern Mongolia.
 In winter, to protect the goats from the icy and cold wind (between -30 and -40 ° C), a tight down of fine and supple hair lines their summer coat. This dark gray down is sheared or brushed off during the spring moult on the goats' breasts. It is then bleached with a preparation of rice flour, then dyed in various colors before being woven, washed, assembled by imperceptible seams and surrounded by a border that frames the designs.
