Why Hero?
The capital of Mongolia is Ulaanbaatar, which literally translates as 'Red Hero'.
What's more, 'Hero' encapsulates everything we value.
Supporting traditional Mongolian nomadic culture, making a positive impact on the Mongolian economy, showcasing Mongolian design talent... we want to make a difference while highlighting the wonderful attributes of the fibre itself.

Behind the brand
Hero Cashmere was founded by a Scottish traveller to Mongolia who took the advice of the locals:
"Buy cashmere leggings if you want to beat the cold!"
Amazed by the ability of the garment to keep her cosy at -40°C, an obsession with the noble fibre was born. This developed into a mission to create a range of 100% Mongolian produced cashmere loungewear.
The leggings that sparked an idea have become a firm favourite among the brand's Instagram followers across the world. The range has been thoughtfully expanded in response to customer feedback and requests. By stocking a small range of just the things we know that people want, we reduce the risk of creating unwanted clothing.
