The Van Kukil Heritage
Heritage & Craftsmanship
Van Kukil’s heritage began in 1889 in Srinagar, Kashmir, the birthplace of the world’s most luxurious fabric - natural, organic cashmere. From its humble beginnings as one of the original suppliers of premium cashmere yarn to the world’s leading luxury brands, Van Kukil has grown into a distinguished creator of fine garments, gracing exclusive stores and catwalks worldwide. Over five generations, the story of Van Kukil has been woven through the expert hands of artisans spinning cashmere yarn, craftsmen shaping it into elegant garments, and trusted wholesalers delivering our creations to discerning private labels. Each generation has left a lasting legacy, transforming raw fibres into refined sophistication, passing down not only a craft but the essence of a family’s dedication to excellence. Today, the Van Kukil name continues to flourish, with each stitch honouring the past and promising warmth and quality for generations to come.
