About
Colour and Dyeing
Colour is developed inside our own factory in Ulaanbaatar, guided by long standing expertise and an exacting approach to tone.
Coloured Cashmere
Cashmere is collected in a variety of natural shades, including a natural white. In the Mongolian steppe, however, white goats are not as common as brown goats in nomadic herds.
To achieve the distinctive palette Mandkhai is known for, we rely on the expertise of our colour creator, who has worked at our factory for many years. She pinpoints the exact shades and undertones for each season, balancing softness, depth and contrast.
In her mini laboratory, she mixes dye colours, dyes, spins and tests the yarns. The chosen tones are then replicated on a larger scale for main production, ensuring consistency across every piece.
