Cashmere Fibres International Limited supply the finest Cashmere, Camelhair, Angora, Silk and Yak from all origins, as well as Mohair and Alpaca.
Based in the heart of the U.K. textile trade in Bradford, West Yorkshire, the company was formed in May 1999, by co-directors David Mallin and David Lee. Both have over twenty-five year’s experience, knowledge and contacts within the speciality fibre industry. David Lee specialises in purchasing and David Mallin takes care of sales. The third member of the team, Marjorie Crowther, looks after import/export, invoicing and stock control.
Cashmere Fibres was formed after seeing the changes in the cashmere trade over the last ten to fifteen years. Most primary processing and dehairing of cashmere has moved to the origin countries. Cashmere Fibres have established a buying office in Huhhot; Inner Mongolia and all purchases are inspected and sampled by their staff prior to testing and approval in the Bradford office. This guarantees the highest quality fibre standards.
Cashmere is sourced from China, Mongolia, Iran and Afghanistan. The company buys greasy as well as dehaired cashmere. Scouring, dehairing and combing is mostly carried out in the country of origin however, in order to meet specialist demands from discerning European customers Cashmere Fibres have recently moved premises within Bradford to Park View Mills in order further expand and specialise their service. They are installing a new dehairing plant which will enable high quality Iranian and Afghan cashmere to be dehaired once again in Bradford. This will make Cashmere Fibres the only serious cashmere dehairer operating in Europe. They also have a combing plant, which produces cashmere, camelhair, and angora tops for the worsted industry.
The company’s highest priorities are quality and customer service. They place a strong emphasis on inspection and testing prior to delivery to customers.
Cashmere Fibres are completely independent and unconnected to any spinner, weaver or knitter.
The company provides, every two to three months a Market Report covering the changing market and supply situation in the countries of origin. |
