In the mountainous regions of Inner Mongolia, Loro Piana discovered Baby Cashmere®: a rare and precious fibre exclusively obtained from the underfleece of the Hyrcus goat kid. It is gathered by means of a delicate and completely harmless procedure done only once in a goat’s life, when it is between three and twelve months old.

Loro Piana Baby Cashmere® is available in extremely limited quantities: one kid produces barely 80 grams of the softest undefleece which, once the coarser outer fibres have been discarded, results in just 30-40 grams of useable fibre. So fine are the fibres of Baby Cashmere® that it takes the underfleece of 19 kids to make just one pullover.

Baby Cashmere® is cashmere's new frontier, the result of Loro Piana's creative and continual efforts in persuading the local shepherds to set aside these extremely precious fibres.

Already the largest transformer of cashmere in the Western world, Loro Piana is the world’s sole producer of yarns and fabrics made from this exceptionally fine and soft raw material: it measures just 13 micron as compared to 14-15 micron of standard cashmere fibre.

Baby Cashmere® fibre is worked in accordance with Loro Piana’s tradition of excellence, and destined for the creation of an exclusive range of products for the most discerning consumers: the “Baby Cashmere®” by Loro Piana, offered in a variety of colours and produced by various processes, all of which have been carefully developed in order to guarantee and maintain the unique and unsurpassed softness and hand of this extraordinary fibre.
