Since 1967, inspiring value and beauty
It was 1967 when, in Reggio Emilia, Paolo Montermini (pictured) founded Hadam’s Creazioni — a family-run knitwear company destined to become a benchmark in the world of cashmere.
After years devoted to fine yarns, in the 2000s the company made a pivotal choice: shifting from large-scale distribution to the retail market. It was then that cashmere became the native language of the project, and from this new vision Kangra was born — a brand that turns material into storytelling and technique into an everyday gesture. A deep knowledge of raw materials, a direct relationship with their places of origin, and meticulous care in every stage of production still guide Hadam’s today — for those who seek in cashmere not just a garment, but an emotion meant to last.

Mission
We transform the finest natural fibers — from cashmere to the most exquisite wools — into garments that combine excellence, craftsmanship, and contemporary style.
We believe in a quality you can feel, live, and that endures over time.
Every stage of our work stems from a deep respect for raw materials, enhanced through exceptional savoir-faire.
Our mission is to offer authentic and responsible elegance, built on conscious choices and attention to detail — to accompany those who choose us with garments that are beautiful, comfortable, and timeless.
Vision
We want to help build a new model of fashion — more conscious, essential, and respectful.
We envision a future where the value of a garment is measured not only by its aesthetics, but by its story, its longevity, and the way it was created.
Our vision is to inspire a lifestyle in balance between beauty and responsibility, guided by innovation, genuine sustainability, and a love for things well made.
We wish to bring people back to the true pleasure of physical shopping, restoring value to the direct connection with the product, to personalized advice, and to the joy of entering a thoughtfully curated space where real emotions can be rediscovered.
With passion and consistency, we aspire to be a point of reference for those who recognize the difference between fashion and true value.
The Heart of Our Philosophy
In a rapidly evolving world, our work remains firmly rooted in the values that have always guided us, and sustainability is one of the fundamental pillars of our mission.
We believe that respect for the environment is essential to create high-quality garments that stand the test of time while reducing our impact on the planet.
From the very beginning, Kangra has placed environmental respect at the heart of its work.
To carry forward these development policies and to contribute to the protection and preservation of the ecosystem, every company initiative is designed to minimize its environmental impact.

Human Value
For us at Kangra, sustainability is not only about materials or production processes, but also about human relationships.
By working with the same artisans over the years, we pass down knowledge and skills from one generation to the next. It’s a commitment that goes beyond fashion — it’s about respect for work, for people, and for the land.
This continuity allows us to ensure the quality and authenticity of our garments, while valuing the talent and experience of those who, with dedication, contribute to our story. Because true sustainability is built on responsible choices.

Origin
Cashmere goats are divided into distinct breeds according to the climate they live in, their diet, and the type of farming.
Due to the particularly harsh temperatures, goats from Inner Mongolia produce the finest fleece — the source of the most precious cashmere, renowned for its unmatched fineness, softness, and fiber length.
To uphold and strengthen its daily commitment to quality, Kangra sources exclusively from this region, selecting only the noblest and most refined fibers for its production.

Harvesting Techniques
The harvesting process begins in spring, during the goats’ molting period. Since the techniques used at this stage directly affect the quality of the final product, Hadam’s oversees the entire process to ensure the highest standards of excellence.
The raw material from which the finest yarns are made is obtained through combing, a delicate method that yields only 200 to 300 grams of duvet per goat — an amount that is further reduced during the selection and refinement phases.
The complexity of this process, the limited volume of material obtained, and the remoteness of the places of origin are some of the factors that make cashmere such a precious and exclusive material.

Care and Maintenance
To remain soft and smooth, each garment must be handled with delicacy and great care — which is why Kangra has created a dedicated maintenance kit that includes a shampoo, brush, and anti-moth essence, specifically designed for washing, treating, and preserving your garments.
Use the brush to remove any pilling, the small balls that naturally form on the surface due to friction and the accumulation of shorter fibers. Wash in cold water, at a temperature not exceeding 30°C, preferably by hand, using a moderate amount of specific detergent or a gentle soap. Rinse thoroughly and lay the garment flat to dry at room temperature, away from radiators, direct sunlight, or heat sources. At the end of the season, store in a cool, dry place, using breathable containers and our specific anti-moth product.
