Mongolia - the homeland of cashmere
Mongolia is a truly unique place in the world. A vast country in Central Asia, it has a long history & tradition of nomadic lifestyle, cattle breeding, rich culture in arts & design, costume making , folk music, literature. The extreme continental climate, where temperatures fall above -40° in winter and +40° in summer in the Gobi desert, contribute to the development of finest fibers in the world: Mongolian cashmere & yak down. The livestock graze freely the grassland and the wide steppes, mountains, vast landscapes of Mongolia. The Mongolian livestock is the renewable, one of the most important natural resources of the country. Not only it provides raw material, food to the population, but is the main activity of thousands of Mongolian nomadic populations.

Our family heritage
My mother passioned by knitwear creation and having studied knitting technology in St.Petersbourg, Russia in 1989, started her career 2nd Knitting Factory in Ulaanbaatar, where she was assigned as an engineer and designer. The 2nd Knitting Factory was one of the largest knitting factories in Mongolia.
After having a short break to give birth to her 2nd child, Ms. Nyamkhand Ganbat, she returned to the knitting factory, but unfortunately it had changed its operation and turned into a sewing factory due to the democratic reformation in Mongolia. Following up her passion in knitwear and her desire to work by her profession, knitwear engineer, she created her own knit atelier, beginning with a small manual knitting machine, that her husband gave her as a present in 1994. 1 year later, she decided to create a company, and created the knitwear factory UUJIN LLC in 1995, becoming one of the first privately owned companies in Mongolia.
