Caprus Cashmere · Our Story
From our family to yours.
Born in Nepal. Rooted in craftsmanship. Made to be part of your everyday life in Australia.
A family story, since 1998
Some of the finest things in life begin somewhere small.
Ours began beside our family home in Nepal, where our father opened a modest cashmere workshop in 1998. What started with a love of making would become the foundation of Caprus Cashmere, an Australian family-owned brand with Nepalese roots.
Today, we bring pieces from our family's own factory directly to Australian wardrobes. No unnecessary layers between the makers and the people who wear their work.
01 / Where it began
1998
A workshop beside our home.
As children, our founder and his sisters would return from school to see what their father had made that day. Spinning, weaving and dyeing were part of everyday life. They helped with small tasks, from stitching labels to learning the care behind every piece.
As the workshop grew, so did its connection to skilled local artisans and the community around it.

02 / The Australian chapter
A different way to bring cashmere home.
Years later, our founder moved to Australia to study. Walking past Sydney boutiques, he recognised the beautiful cashmere in their windows, but was surprised by the price tags.
He knew the craftsmanship behind those pieces. He also knew how much the journey through agents and retailers could add to their price. An idea took shape: why not connect customers directly with the family factory?
That idea became Caprus. Real cashmere, made with care, offered at a more considered price.
Why Caprus exists
Beautiful craftsmanship should be valued. It shouldn't need an extraordinary mark-up.
By working directly with our family factory in Nepal, we bring together quality, provenance and a fairer price for Australian customers.
03 / The people behind every piece
Made by hands that know their craft.
Our Nepal factory works with predominantly women artisans, whose knowledge and attention give each shawl, scarf and wrap its character.
Traditional handweaving techniques are an essential part of our story. Supporting meaningful local employment and preserving those skills matter just as much to us as the beautiful finished textile.

Care is in the details.
We believe a beautiful product should be made thoughtfully, with attention to the hands behind it and the resources it takes to create.
Skilled artisans
Predominantly women craftspeople bring traditional techniques and experience to the workshop.
Solar-powered factory
Solar energy supports the day-to-day operations of our family's production facility.
Mindful colour and water
Our production uses natural dyes, harvested rainwater and water recycling during the dyeing process.
05 / Made to be kept
Less, but loved longer.
We create pure cashmere and wool pieces that feel beautiful today and deserve a place in your wardrobe for years to come. Softness against the skin. Warmth without unnecessary weight. Something to reach for, season after season.
Looking after natural fibres is part of that promise. With gentle care, a favourite wrap or scarf can stay with you for many winters.
