Monica Garry of Fibre Tibet + Sustainable Cashmere

Fibre Tibet is a luxe handwoven collection featuring the finest cashmere and wool from the Himalayan region. Our designs are woven in Kathmandu and integrate traditional techniques, including handspun yarns, into our designs. The collection is part of Noble Fibre, Inc., a social benefit corporation that invests in nomad communities and artisan enterprises, including a woman-owned business in Tibet.

The first handspun, hand-woven cashmere textile I ever encountered was many years ago in Kathmandu, Nepal when I was a student. My Nepalese teacher wore a beautiful shawl made of natural brown cashmere with twisted crème and brown fringe tassels. I found out who made the exquisite piece and purchased one each for my mother and me. Today the shawls remain in perfect condition—a testament to handmade artisan craft and high-quality cashmere. This began my quest to find the finest cashmere and wool in the world—and that quest led me to Tibet, and to the high mountain regions along the Tibet-Nepal border.
