Premium material

Cashmere is a premium material, renowned for its lightweight softness, warmth and durability.  Today it offers sophisticated options in a range of grades for both high-end and high-street markets.

Some 95% of the world’s supply of pure cashmere and 70% of its finished products come from China.  Thanks to its access to natural resources and sophisticated manufacturing capabilities, China is the indisputable country of choice to host Cashmere World that promotes the productive and sustainable development of the cashmere industry.

Cashmere World

The leading international cashmere trade fair was renamed to Cashmere World in 2010, as a result of a new partnership between CFNA and the professional fair organiser UBM, which operates 110 international events annually.

The new name of the fair that used to be known as the China Cashmere Fair also aimed to signify the international importance of the premium cashmere market.

The past three events in 2007, 2008 and 2010 attracted some 200 exhibitors from major cashmere supplying countries, including Afghanistan, China, India, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Switzerland and the UK, displaying the full spectrum of products and services from along the entire cashmere supply chain.  About  12,000 visitors from around the world, including France, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US, attended the event.
