London, 1994
Our story
Denner began in London in 1994, when Harriet Denner set out to make Mongolian cashmere knitwear that would be worn for years rather than a season. Thirty years on, that idea has not changed.
Where the fibre comes from
Our cashmere comes from the Mongolian steppe. It is gathered by hand by herding families we have worked with for over thirty years, and know by name. The winters there are hard, and the fibre the goats grow to survive them is what makes the cashmere soft.
We are the factory
Although we draw on our history for inspiration, we are very much a modern cashmere company. From the steppe the fibre goes to our own factory in Mongolia. The raw fleece is washed, spun into yarn, knitted and finished there, in a factory we own and a process we control. We don't rely on third-party outsourcing, so we can guarantee the quality that makes our cashmere so special.
St John's Hill
The collection is designed in London, where our shop can still be found at 114 St John's Hill, a short walk from Clapham Junction. Harriet Denner's vision lives on there. Today the shop is where we hold our most special boutique pieces, and our staff are always happy to help with styling advice, or just a chat.
