Our story
Hero Cashmere is an independent Franco-Scottish label based in Paris, born from a love of travel, beautiful natural fibres and clothes that are made to be truly lived in.
Its founder, Carrie, comes from the Scottish Highlands, but Paris is now home. Her travels through Mongolia sparked a fascination with the story of its cashmere — and with the exceptional softness, warmth and natural performance of this remarkable fibre.
What began with the discovery of cashmere leggings to keep warm while travelling gradually became a brand, shaped by the places and people encountered along the way.
A meeting of cultures through textiles
The Hero Cashmere aesthetic sits between Scotland and Paris.
From Scotland comes an instinctive appreciation for warmth, practicality and knitwear that can withstand real life. From Paris comes a love of simplicity, proportion and the quiet impact of one beautiful piece.
Mongolian cashmere fits naturally into this meeting of worlds. It brings together the warmth and usefulness associated with Scotland with the lightness and understated elegance that feel at home in Paris.
The result is cashmere that feels relaxed but refined: easy to wear, yet capable of elevating the simplest wardrobe.
Modern Cashmere,
Made in Mongolia
Hero Cashmere's philosophy is simple: cashmere should be lived in, loved and worn every day. It shouldn't be confined to special occasions or treated as too precious to enjoy.
The collection is made up of comfortable, uncomplicated pieces — from soft socks to generously shaped tops — designed to bring warmth and understated luxury to everyday life.
Hero Cashmere's cashmere comes from Mongolia, where Carrie regularly visits the friends and suppliers with whom the brand works. Every stage of production, from fibre to finished garment, takes place in Mongolia, helping to keep skills, craftsmanship and economic value within the country.
People, places and craft
Made through relationships
These relationships are central to Hero Cashmere. As a small independent label, there is the privilege of knowing the people behind the garments — and of returning to Mongolia to follow the production process, develop new ideas and deepen friendships over time.
Hero Cashmere brings together three places: the Scottish roots of its founder, the understated elegance of Paris, and the landscapes, fibre and craftsmanship of Mongolia.
I hope you enjoy these pieces,
Carrie x
