DESIGNED IN NEW YORK
MADE BY HAND IN MONGOLIA
Our Story
THE CRAFT
SAVED NEW YORK prides itself on maintaining and supporting sustainable, cruelty-free cashmere, working with herders with over 2,000 years of tradition behind them.
Our goats are never sheared, but hand-combed, a more timely but gentler method of collecting the precious fibers that go into all of our pieces. The cashmere itself is naturally organic, sourced from goat herds that roam in Mongolia. We work with a small collective of families who have been herding for generations in the Central and Western provinces, where the goats are well-treated and loved. Each goat yields approximately 300 grams of raw cashmere, of which only 60% is the soft down ready to spin. We use only the highest quality Mongolian cashmere: 100% First Grade, ranging between 16.4 to 16.7 microns. Several pieces maintain the natural color of cashmere, and any dyed pieces use dyes that are 100% Azo-free.
Our pieces are crafted in partnership with a women-owned and operated workshop. We utilize a variety of production methods, from machine knit to handknit, which is specified in the description of each piece. Every SAVED NEW YORK cashmere item receives meticulous care and attention, ensuring there will always be a measure of "handmade" in each piece we make.
