Cashmere beanies are made by small artisan communities from Ladakh, India and Himachal Pradesh. We work directly with the Changthangi goat herders from Ladakh to ethically source the pashmina fibre. This is then carefully processed by a small group of artisans in the Himalayas, who are experts in converting them into high quality yarns required for knitting.

Each beanie is then individually hand-knit by women self help group by twisting 2 different color yarns. These are made in small quantities to ensure the well being of the Changthangi goats, the changpa tribe and our mother earth. Your conscious choice supports these small artisan communities and mother nature.

Fair trade: The label works with artisans from remote Indian villages to make all items by hand. These craftsmen receive a fair wage, work under pleasant working conditions and are flexible in scheduling their hours. The latter is also great for women who take care of children and their families in addition to work, or for the craftsmen who also work on the land.

Environmentally friendly: Fifth Origins works with natural and sustainable wool, hemp, cotton and nettle. Nettle is a sustainable, natural and innovative material from which textile fibres can be made. The wool comes from sheepherders in Himachal Pradesh, an ethical and certified source.

Good cause: Fifth Origins recently partnered with their artisans to set up a nursery for the children of the female artisans. The label considers it very important to be able to support their community where necessary and to make women stronger and more independent, also women of a less privileged background in India.
