We often forget that a lot of the clothes we wear come from nature. Natural fibers such as cotton, linen, wool and cashmere are sourced from plants and animals, and need land and water. Sustainable sourcing of raw materials is essential so that we do not overstress land or overuse water, this is especially important in the context of climate change. For World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought, we looked at the impact of fashion on land and water resources on cashmere in Mongolia.
Cashmere comes from the soft coat produced by goats during the winter. By passing a cashmere scarf through a ring, it is said one can assess the fiber’s quality and fineness. “Due to the extreme climate, Mongolian cashmere is the thinnest and highest quality cashmere,” says O. Misheel, Deputy Director of GOBI, an international alliance that promotes sustainability in the industry.
