“We have always been a fan of cashmere, but your team has taken cashmere products to the next level: fabulous color selection, high-quality fabric and weaving, and thoughtful packaging.”
-Alice Rossi
“Just a beautiful piece of garment to own in every way. The colors are gorgeous. I want them all. The fabric is wonderfully warm and comfortable. It felt so special to receive it in such personal packaging. Most of all, the customer service is above and beyond.”
-Fleur Ohaka
“After wearing a Felted Cashmere scarf, I came back to buy another one. They are light and soft; the cashmere keeps me warm without weighing me down. The colors are rich and beautiful, and the neutral tones make it a great go-with-everything.”
-Lisa Patrik
heritage
Our story
Felted Cashmere is a second-generation cashmere atelier nestled in the Himalayan foothills of Nepal. We have woven the finest cashmere products on traditional handlooms since 1982. We have been shipping to customers worldwide with our online store since 2020.
We take slow fashion literally and help our weavers and craftsmen and their families live in a happy and healthy environment by empowering them through healthcare and education. We are one of the last remaining handloom operated cashmere makers in Nepal and so we know it is our responsibility to sustain it.

our mission
Interwoven in each piece is the story of a team of local master artisans and craftsmen, learned in ancient weaving and handmade techniques.
As we share their creations with the world, we will train the upcoming generation in this artisanal skill. More importantly, we aspire to create a sustainable and thriving environment for our weaving team and their communities.
We will improve our processes, address the challenges of our time, and stay relevant while keeping true to our core values.

Each scarf goes through a meticulous process. It takes 2 days to warp, 7 days to weave a scarf, 2 days to hand-felt it, & another two days to dye it into the finished Cashmere Scarf.
