Cashmere: even the simple sound of the word is evocative and contains a romantic story, not comparable with that of any other fiber. The finest Cashmere fibers, those selected by Piacenza 1733, derive from goat specimens from the Alashan region in Northern China, and have adapted to live in harsh places with cold temperatures in winter and hot in summer. These environmental conditions favor the best quality of the duvet and that is why no other cashmere can match Alashan cashmere.
