At Mandkhai, we believe cashmere is more than just a fabric—it is a tradition, a craft, and a statement of timeless luxury. As Mandkhai herself puts it, "Growing up surrounded by it and spending time at my family’s factory in Mongolia, I have always been amazed at how cashmere sets itself apart from other materials."
When you touch cashmere, you immediately feel its unmistakable softness and elegance. It is lightweight yet incredibly warm, making it the perfect choice for layering throughout the year. While wool provides warmth, its density and heaviness make it feel less refined. Cashmere, by contrast, is both delicate and resilient, offering an unmatched combination of comfort and sophistication.
Cashmere vs. Cotton
Cotton is breathable and widely used, but it lacks cashmere’s insulating properties. It retains moisture, loses heat quickly, and can become heavy over time, especially after washing.
Cashmere vs. Silk
Silk is known for its smooth texture and lustrous finish, but it does not provide the same natural insulation as cashmere. While silk is lightweight, it lacks the warmth and versatility needed for year-round wear. Cashmere, on the other hand, adapts effortlessly to different temperatures while maintaining a level of refinement that is simply unmatched.
Cashmere vs. Wool
Wool is widely recognised for its warmth, but it is often much denser and heavier due to its solid fiber structure. While wool traps air through its crimped texture, cashmere fibers are hollow, allowing them to retain heat while staying breathable and lightweight. This is what makes cashmere feel so soft and warm without the heaviness often associated with wool.
At Mandkhai, we take pride in crafting pieces that celebrate cashmere’s exceptional softness, warmth, and longevity. Our clients consistently praise its quality, noting how it becomes even more luxurious over time. From intricate hand embroidery to carefully considered designs, every detail reflects our commitment to excellence. Cashmere is not just an investment in luxury—it is an investment in timeless craftsmanship and sustainability.
Whether compared to the crispness of cotton, the sheen of silk, or the density of wool, cashmere remains in a league of its own. Its elegance, versatility, and unparalleled softness make it a fabric like no other.
