Alpine Cashmere was founded by Ames and Karen in 2002, rooted in Ames' rich family history in textiles, dating back to 1813 in Lowell, Massachusetts. Ames' early experience working in family-owned mills and his ventures abroad fostered a passion for natural fibers. Karen's background in fine art publishing, where she collaborated with prominent artists, informs the brand's artistic vision.

Alpine Cashmere offers a sophisticated and timeless range of cashmere items for both women and men, crafted from the finest, sustainably grown cashmere. The brand emphasizes quality and durability, producing small batches with hand finishing for luxurious, long-lasting products. Their annual trips to Inner Mongolia strengthen relationships with herders and mill owners, reflecting their commitment to collaboration and quality. Alpine Cashmere aims to create products that are cherished as much by their customers as by the creators.
