SAY HELLO TO OUR GOATS!

• Originates in Ladakh, one of the most desolate and harshest environments in the world
• Ladakh is nestled in stark mountains, rarified plateaus with relentlessly low temperatures all year
• In these largely uninhabited and pristine landscapes resides the Capra Hircus- our sweet goats!
• This goat grows and sheds hair that is 1/6th as fine as human hair
• one of the warmest fibers in the world
• sublimely soft tactile feel

SAY HELLO TO THE CHANGPAS!

(DID WE SAY IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO CREATE EVERY CIKANA PRODUCT, HAND-MADE WITH A LOT OF LOVE, AND GREAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL)

• Our goats are reared by a tribe of nomads- the Changpa.
• Changpas have preserved the pedigree of their livestock, hence they are rare.
• These rare goats, the purest form, only 8-10 tons per year
• Our goats produce longest and purest cashmere fibers found anywhere on the planet.
• These precious fibers are collected by combing, not shearing.
• The Cashmere is collected as a result of natural process of molting.
• The natural fibers are treated with great care by the weavers in Kashmir.
• Fibers are hand spun into exquisite pashminas on traditional looms.
• Century old weaving traditions.
