DISCOVER THE WORLD OF PHILØSOPHY AVSHZ
Philøsophy Avshz pride ourselves on the search for superlative materials; on sourcing the very finest, rarest raw materials the world has to offer, including unique cashmere from baby goats in northern China and Mongolia, vicuña from the Andes, extra-fine Merino wool from Australia and New Zealand. Cashmere is the rarest and most luxurious fiber in the world.
Starting from the finest yarns of Cashmere, Merino Wool, Mohair and Vicuna, Philøsophy Avshz designs and creates luxurious wardrobe essentials; a wonderful experience because of its softness and unparalleled warmth. Our strong commitment to constant improvement means continuing to strive for perfection.
The Cashmere goat is to be found principally on the cold and dry highlands of Central Asia at 3,000 to 5,000metres above sea level. From here the wool travels across India and past the Himalayan Mountains, to China, where it is distributed to mills throughout the world.
Cashmere was first discovered by the nobility of Victorian England and subsequently became one of the most prestigious fibres of the noble fibre family. The low bulk, high loft fibres combine to make the warmest, most comfortable garments money can buy. In softness, warmth and fineness of fibre cashmere is comparable to Vicuña. Cashmere is appropriate for all climates as the high moisture absorbency rate allows the fibres to maintain their insulation properties in varying conditions of relative humidity.
The finest fibres are gathered from the saddle of the Cashmere goat and are harvested by carefully combing the goat’s fleece during the spring months. Cashmere cloths are luxurious with a soft and seductive handle, beautiful drape and timeless appeal.
