Cashmere – this natural fiber stands for pure luxury, incomparable softness, and warmth. Cashmere hats and headbands are not just a fashion highlight, but a tribute to the harsh winter months. That's why we decided years ago to create winter accessories with this precious fiber . Our Shepherd line, with beanies and headbands made from 50% recycled cashmere and 50% ultrafine Merino wool ( Both GRS-certified) are our most expensive and luxurious products. They are also only branded on the inside to allow enough space for this precious textile fiber on the outside.
Today, we'd like to not only share with you the extraordinary benefits of cashmere, but also explain why this wool is so valuable to us, who are rooted in the Alps—especially in an environment that challenges us every day.

Cashmere – The fiber of extremes
Cashmere wool is known not only for its incredible softness but also for its ability to protect us from extreme weather conditions. This precious fiber comes from the cashmere goat, native to the harsh regions of the Himalayas. There, where temperatures fluctuate dramatically and nature is unforgiving, the cashmere goat develops its particularly fine undercoat – the precious cashmere.
It's precisely this wool that makes cashmere a treasure for us, who face the conditions in the Alps. Even here in the mountains, we know the cold that cuts through our bones. But just like the cashmere goat in the Himalayas, cashmere protects us in the Alps: With its unique ability to retain heat while remaining breathable, cashmere offers perfect protection in subzero temperatures—whether you're on the slopes in a blizzard or leisurely strolling through a snow-covered village.
The wool is combed out of the cashmere goats, resulting in only 150 grams of wool per goat.
Why cashmere is perfect for our headbands and hats
Cashmere's exceptional fineness, created by its small fiber diameter, is unparalleled. When you wear a cashmere headband or hat, you'll immediately notice how soft and comfortable the fiber feels—even on sensitive skin. The material is perfect for alpine winters: It keeps you warm without breaking a sweat, while also protecting you from the icy cold.
But cashmere isn't just practical. It's a fiber that exudes elegance and is timeless. Our cashmere headbands and hats are a statement for those who feel a connection to nature while appreciating subtle elegance.

- Incomparable softness that pampers even sensitive skin

Care – How to keep your cashmere beautiful for a lifetime
Cashmere is a natural wonder that, with proper care, will last a lifetime. The natural lanolin in the fiber has a self-cleaning effect, so it's often sufficient to air your cashmere headbands and hats out in the fresh air. Should washing be necessary, we recommend a gentle hand wash with lukewarm water and a special wool detergent.
Our care tips:
- Ventilate regularly – this way your cashmere products stay fresh longer.
- Gentle hand wash – without wringing or rubbing.
- Dry on a towel to maintain the shape.
- Moth protection in the closet – cedar wood keeps your treasures safe.

Our headbands and hats are not only made of pure cashmere, but also combine 50% recycled cashmere with 50% ultra-fine merino wool – both GRS-certified.
