- 摘要: "For more than a decade, Loro Piana has established a special relationship with the shepherds of these lands who raise Hyrcus goats and their kids that provide this precious fiber. Baby cashmere is extremely rare and exclusively obtained from the undercoat of Hyrcus kid goats. Possessing unparalleled lightness and softness, the fiber is available in extremely limited quantities and is a genuine breakthrough for Loro Piana, the new frontier of cashmere. Through six fascinating chapters with photographs, the book covers the journey to the most remote areas of Mongolia, between the steppes and desert, to reach the cashmere and baby cashmere collection center, a traveling settlement dotted with the traditional Ger tents that serve as both showroom and storeroom for the fibers. In these magical, timeless settings, animals and humans have lived in harmony with the wild, rugged landscape for millennia. , Loro Piana has made true quality its mission. For six generations, it has been supplying its most sophisticated and demanding customers with the finest cashmere and wool fabrics. As a result, it has become the most important cashmere textile manufacturer and the biggest single buyer of the world's finest wools. For more than two decades, in respect of its tradition of excellence, Loro Piana has been offering these same customers, whose lifestyles and needs it understands and appreciates, prestigious lines for men, women, and children as well as accessories, leather goods, and gift ideas."--Publisher description.

The illustrated story of a journey that Loro Piana goes on every year through remote, unspoiled lands to purchase an extremely precious fibre. Mongolia is a vast expanse of land between China and Russia. Its unspoilt terrain is battered by sudden sandstorms, and for 257 days a year no rain falls. A travel across this country is a genuine adventure. For more than ten thousand years Mongolia's uplands have been home to the Hircus goat. This curious animal, which is cared for by a mainly nomadic population of goat-herders, hides a genuine treasure under its outer coat: the warm, fine, ultra-soft luxury fibre that is cashmere. Baby Cashmere is an extremely precious fibre exclusively obtained from the underfleece of Hircus goat kids, which is gathered by means of a delicate and completely harmless combining procedure that is only done once in a goat's life, before the kids are 12 months old. It takes the fleece of 19 kids to make just one pullover. Nature lovers, fine-photography aficionados, armchair travellers alike will appreciate this fascinating exploration under endless skies and over golden deserts in search of the ultimate in genuine quality.
