How can we help?

All our yarn is OEKO-TEX® certified. It is important to us that you as a customer feel safe when buying and wearing our products. Learn more about our cashmere and our production below.

• What is cashmere?

  Cashmere is wool that comes from cashmere goats, which are special goats that live in a cold climate. Cashmere wool comes from the undercoat and only the finest hairs are used to create cashmere yarn. Cashmere yarn is divided into categories of A, B and C cashmere, depending on the thickness and length of the fibres and the part of the goat the fibres come from. We only work with A-grade cashmere, which has the longest fibres and the highest quality.

• What is gauge?

  Gauge (abbreviated gg) is a term often used when describing knitted garments. The term describes the number of stitches used per inch. The higher the gauge the thinner the sweater. Davida's cashmere is knitted in 3 gg, 5 gg, 7 gg, 12 gg and 16 gg.

• Is the yarn certified?

  Yes, all the yarn we use is OEKO-TEX®-certified. This means that our products maintain the standard according to safety standards for textile and clothing manufacturing and meet high human-ecological requirements. It is important to us that you as a customer feel safe when you shop and wear our products.

• How and where do the goats live?

  All our cashmere comes from cashmere goats that live in Inner Mongolia, where our production is also located. The goats wander freely out on the pastures, and are taken care of by local shepherds. They stay on the shepherds' farms when the grass needs to recover and the cashmere wool is cut for the hot summer season.

• Do the goats suffer during the cutting process?

  At our suppliers, the goats are trimmed or cut instead of being combed. These are faster processes that reduce the stress for the animals. The goats have the same experience as ordinary sheep during wool trimming.

• Where are the garments produced?

  Our garments are produced in Inner Mongolia, which is also where the cashmere goats live and where the wool is prepared for production.

• Do you visit your factories?

  Yes, we regularly visit our suppliers in Inner Mongolia, to ensure both good working conditions and proper animal care. It's important to us that you, our customers, feel safe about shopping with us and using our products.

• When was Davida founded?

  Davida was founded in 2009 by brothers Kristian and Max Holm, with the aim of producing cashmere clothes designed to last a long time, both in terms of style and quality.
