For more than ten thousand years Mongolias uplands have been home to the Hircus goat. This curious animal hides a genuine treasure under its outer coat: the warm, fine, ultra-soft luxury fibre that is cashmere. This title presents an illustrated story of a journey that the author goes on every year to purchase an extremely precious fibre.
Mongolia, in May, once a year, the journy and the landscapes --

People of the desert --
Loro Piana's people : the procurement process --
Baby cashmere : the kids and the harvest --
The return to Ulan Baatar and departing for Italy : the journey continues.
