When was cashmere first used?

Cashmere has been used for over a thousand years, originating in the Kashmir region of India and Nepal. Historical records show fine cashmere shawls as early as the 13th century, later introduced to Europe in the 18th century as luxury imports. Today, modern computerized flat knitting machines and WholeGarment® technology allow factories like ours to produce traditional luxury cashmere pieces with contemporary precision and lower MOQs.
