Discover Mongolia's Ancestral Art: Cashmere

Christopher, a former music and movie producer, shuttles between Mongolia and Nepal, between herds of goats in the steppe and his cashmere workshops in Kathmandu. Married to a Mongolian princess and patron of a polo team in the steppe, Christopher makes one of the most beautiful cashmeres in the world. Each blanket takes six days to spin and weave by hand. In Mongolia, the cashmere industry provides work and income for a third of the population.
