A Mongolian phenomena
Are the home of the most unique natural fibres in the world
The climatic changes align with the Mongolian landscape and altitude changes to produce fibre types that are not only unique but region specific.

A Mongolian Phenomena
The most intriguing and fascinating of these phenomenae comes from two soums, one in the East and the other in the West, both of which give a distinct pigment variation with red and blue casts on natural beige fibres that cannot be seen anywhere else in the world

Lost Treasures of the Mongolian
Nomads The privatisation of Mongolian livestock to
the herders in the early 90’s and a lack of an enforceable government policy gradually resulted in the disappearance of these special types as herders neglected to pursue the guidelines that had been established under the Ministry of Agriculture for many years.

the herders in the early 90’s and a lack of an enforceable government policy gradually resulted in the disappearance of these special types as herders neglected to pursue the guidelines that had been established under the Ministry of Agriculture for many years.
This was also a social issue as Mongolia underwent the transition from a command to a market economy.

Lost Treasures of the Mongolian

unprecedented levels in the 90’s and the Mongolian herders reacted by increasing their herd size.
Demand fell largely on the basic Mongolian types of light grey and dark brown with all the special fibres being swept up in this mini gold rush.

The cashmere goat herd population has increased five fold over the last twenty years currently standing at over 20,000,000.

Lost Treasures of the Mongolian
Nomads
An example of this is Bayandelger red cashmere formerly known in Japan as ‘Khenti Red’ which was a much sought after quality and the herders in this region took great care in nurturing and preserving this type.

Several attempts by sharp traders and breeders to relocate this type failed as the down reverted back to the more common natural beige.

Mongolia’s USP
The Asian Development Bank sponsored Agriculture Marketing and Branding Development Project was charged with the task in 2011 of revitalising Mongolia’s cashmere industry.
The major challenge was to identify Mongolia’s Unique Selling Proposition. The AMBDP team consists of specialists in breeding, quality assurance and production with experience that dates back to the beginning of Mongolia’s entry into value added processing over 30 years ago.

Rediscovering Mongolia’s lost

the team decided to conduct a research into rediscovering the unique Mongolian fibres.

This task began in Shine Jinst soum in Bayanhongor aimag where the majority of Mongolian white goats are located.

A co-operation between the herder co-operatives, Altai LLC a leading cashmere company and AMBDP identified and seperated out the pure bred white Zala jinst Mongolian goats of fine micron, good length and free from black hair contamination

Tripartite Co-operation
This co-operation lasted over several months with training being given to the herders on breeding, sorting and grading.

Tripartite Co-operation
This co-operation lasted over several months with training being given to the herders on breeding, sorting and grading.
One hundred and sixty herder families were involved in this experiment and from over 12 tons of white cashmere less than 8% was classified as suitable to be nominated as one of Mongolia’s lost treasures.

In recent years, the textile industry has greatly increased its demand for yak fibre. The yak has a high degree of adaptation to the ecosystem. No other domestic animal can feed on the vegetation growing at 2,000-4,000 metres .

The morphological and physiological characteristics of the yak endow it with an ability to resist cold, to scrape through snow for fodder and to graze very short grass.

Yak fibre
The international yak market is expected to have a bright future, because the wool is seen as an exotic fibre and fits into the recent revival of natural fibres.

The best example of this kind of development is vicuna fibre, sourced mainly in Peru. The demand for other exotic fibres, such as mohair and alpaca, is also increasing

New luxury fibre?
.
Yak wool, which is warmer than sheep wool, might be the next natural fibre to be taken up by fashion designers.

. Yak wool, which is warmer than sheep wool, might be the next natural fibre to be taken up by fashion designers.
The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) has run tests showing that yak wool is stronger but as thin and fine as merino wool.

The birth of Mongolian Noble
fibre The branding and marketing specialists on
the AMBDP team decided that these qualities were worthy of a special name.

The birth of Mongolian Noble
fibre The branding and marketing specialists on
the AMBDP team decided that these qualities were worthy of a special name.
Terms like Royalty and Nobility sprang to mind as effectively cashmere is the King of luxury fibres and ultimately it was felt that the word Noble has an intrinsic and powerful perceptual resonance with the Mongolian environment, culture, history and identity.

Visual Identity
Furthermore It was felt that a form of visual identity akin to the Woolmark was necessary to compliment the brand name
![Page 54: Mongolian Noble Fibre Pres](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042813/546077aeb1af9f3c078b4ca6/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Visual Identity
This visual identity for Mongolian Noble Fibre is a true collaboration between Mongolian and European creatives. The brand mark or Roundel is a distinctive rendering of the word “khan,” or king, in an ornate form of the traditional Mongolian script. It is balanced and elegant and its central spine even resembles the combs used to harvest the hair from the animals
