vonoz - Plaids & Blankets
The Quiet Warmth of Cashmere – A Story of Our Plaids & Blankets
There is a certain kind of warmth that cannot be measured in degrees. It is the kind that arrives gently, almost unnoticed—like a slow morning, a shared silence, a familiar scent. At vonoz, this warmth is woven into every thread of our cashmere plaids and blankets.
More than functional coverings, our throws are objects of presence—crafted to elevate the rhythm of everyday life through softness, craftsmanship, and quiet elegance.
What Makes a vonoz Plaid Different?
Every plaid and blanket in our collection is woven from 100% pure Himalayan cashmere, carefully selected from the undercoat of mountain goats that inhabit some of the coldest regions on earth. This ultra-fine fibre is prized not only for its exceptional softness and lightness, but also for its natural ability to insulate without bulk. It is eight times warmer than wool and far more breathable—making it perfect for layering, lounging, and living.
Unlike mass-produced textiles, a vonoz plaid is not the product of haste or industrial repetition. Each piece is handwoven in Nepal by master artisans who work on traditional looms in small heritage workshops. These weavers bring generations of skill and sensitivity to every throw they create—ensuring that every detail, from tension to texture, reflects an uncompromising dedication to quality.
Softness, Refined
One of the defining characteristics of a vonoz plaid is its signature softness. But softness, for us, is not just a physical sensation—it is a philosophy. We believe that softness should be quiet, not showy. It should feel effortless, like a second skin or a remembered comfort.
To achieve this, we use a specialized washing technique developed with one of Nepal’s oldest weaving houses. This gentle finishing process gives each plaid its slightly “fluffed” texture, enhancing both softness and volume while preserving the natural loft of the cashmere fibres. The result is a throw that feels substantial yet weightless—perfect for cool evenings, long travels, or simply resting at home.
At Home, Wherever You Are
A cashmere throw is more than a seasonal accessory. It is a companion—a constant presence that moves with you through space and time. Draped over a sofa, folded at the foot of a bed, or packed into your travel bag, a vonoz plaid brings a sense of intimacy and belonging to any environment.
We intentionally keep our designs minimalist, allowing the natural colour variations and weave textures to speak for themselves. Some blankets are finished with subtle borders, others are left clean-edged—each one quietly distinct, yet unmistakably vonoz.
These pieces are not trend-driven or seasonal. They are timeless investments in material honesty, craftsmanship, and comfort.
Ethical Luxury, Naturally
From fibre selection to finishing, every step of our process reflects our commitment to ethical, sustainable craftsmanship. We source our raw materials with care and work exclusively with workshops that respect traditional techniques, pay fair wages, and preserve local knowledge.
By focusing on small-batch production and natural materials, we minimize waste and avoid chemical-intensive processes. Our dyes—if used—are botanical or mineral-based, and many of our plaids remain undyed to celebrate the natural tones of cashmere itself.
For us, sustainability is not a trend. It is a return to origin—a way of remembering that luxury should leave a gentle footprint, not a loud one.
Why Choose a Cashmere Blanket?
If you’re considering investing in a cashmere blanket, ask yourself what you value. Is it warmth without weight? A texture that calms rather than distracts? A piece that lasts for years, rather than months?
Cashmere blankets are known for their unique thermal qualities. They regulate body temperature, wick moisture, and remain breathable throughout the seasons. Unlike synthetic fabrics or even standard wool, cashmere adjusts to your skin, offering comfort whether you're cooling down or warming up.
For those sensitive to texture, cashmere is a revelation. Its fibres are incredibly fine, making it ideal for people with delicate skin or anyone who finds other materials too coarse.
In short, a cashmere plaid is not just an object—it is a tactile experience, an aesthetic statement, and a lifelong companion.
