How Our Cashmere Is Made: From Nepal to Australia
Our craftsmanship · Nepal to Australia
From the hands of our artisans to yours.
Every Caprus piece begins with a belief that beautiful things deserve time. In our family's workshop in Nepal, skilled artisans bring natural fibres to life through traditional techniques, thoughtful finishing and care in every detail.
01 · From fibre to yarn
The journey of pure cashmere
Cashmere is prized for its exceptionally fine, soft fibres, collected from the downy undercoat of cashmere goats. The wider cashmere-making journey begins with fibre collection and careful sorting to separate fine down from coarser hairs. The fibres are then cleaned and prepared for spinning into yarn.
These early stages shape the softness and character of the finished fabric. At Caprus, we value natural fibres selected for comfort, warmth and enduring wear.
02 · The people behind the pieces
Handwoven by skilled artisans in Nepal
Inside our family's Nepal workshop, predominantly women artisans work with traditional looms, bringing skill and patience to every woven piece. A shawl is more than its colour or texture: it is the result of measured movements, experienced hands and attention to how the fabric falls.
Some Caprus pieces are woven while others are knitted or felted, depending on the design. Each technique is chosen to bring out the best in the fibre and the finished piece.
03 · Colour with consideration
Our approach to responsible production
Thoughtful making extends beyond the loom. Our family's factory uses solar power, natural dyes and rainwater harvesting, with water recycled for the dyeing process. These practical choices reflect our commitment to working more carefully with the resources we use.
We believe sustainability is best shown through the everyday decisions behind a piece, rather than grand promises.
04 · Finished with care
From the loom to your wardrobe
Once woven or knitted, each piece receives its finishing touches and is inspected before leaving our workshop. The result is soft, considered natural-fibre clothing and accessories made to be worn, loved and cared for over many seasons.
Our story began when our founder arrived in Australia from Nepal and saw how much cashmere could cost in Sydney boutiques. By connecting Australian customers directly with our family's Nepal factory, we remove unnecessary agents and mark-ups without losing sight of the people who make each piece.
