The Van Kukil Heritage

The country of Kashmir was the original source of Natural Organic Cashmere. It is the homeland of the world’s most luxurious fabric.

The Van Kukil story began in 1889 in Srinagar Kashmir.

Today the 5th generation family-owned business has proudly developed from one of the original Cashmere yarn suppliers to international brands into a maker of luxury garments seen in prestigious stores and on catwalks around the world. Our loyal customers are driven by quality and appreciate how we have combined tradition and innovation in design and fabric.

Van Kukil remains true to its core values as a family business, which espouses helping to create jobs and lift people in Kashmir out of poverty. Van Kukil is fully committed to our environment and working with partners to preserve the luxurious grasslands of Kashmir. Kashmir has historically been a natural habitat for Kashmir goats. The region provides the perfect formula for raising goats with its natural grasslands and cold climates to produce one of the world’s finest fibres.

Our Cashmere is gently hand-combed in the most sustainable and humane way.

A Van Kukil Cashmere garment will last forever – a symbol of its value. Our Designers are renowned for their creative aesthetic, combining tradition with modernity, inspired by the great fashion capitals of the world.

Finally, our vision is to be the premium luxury cashmere brand internationally. We aim to maintain our image by continuous innovation to deliver the best quality products and outstanding customer service.
