A second life for cashmere

Every fibre begins with the value of the land.

The CashmeReborn Collection repurposes cashmere remnants generated during production to create entirely new products.

These items are neither processed in the scouring nor the dyeing stages, resulting in significantly reduced use of water and chemicals compared with conventional products.

Renewed purpose

The future of cashmere should include better use of the materials we already have.

Selected remnants

Innovation does not always mean starting from something new.

Not waste. Material with a future. CashmeReborn is not only a material idea — it is a measurable production improvement.

By reusing selected cashmere remnants, GOBI reduces the need to begin again from the earliest processing stages.

The process

From remnant to renewed purpose.

  1. Production remnants

    Selected offcuts are kept aside as production runs.

  2. Selection

    Fibres are sorted by colour, quality and condition.

  3. Reuse preparation

    Material is prepared without scouring or dyeing.

  4. New material purpose

    The fibre is spun into yarn for a new piece.

  5. CashmeReborn piece

    The finished garment carries the same Mongolian softness.
