At Lineage Boutique, we believe that we are all intricately connected to our ancestry, and that our ancestry is naturally intertwined with the Earth. Our story is a celebration of these deep, timeless connections — to the land, the people, and the elements that sustain us.
Our story is one of connection —
to each other, to the land, and to the time-honored traditions that have sustained generations of herders in the Changthang Plateau.
Nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of Ladakh, where the towering Himalayas meet the sky, we’re a mother-daughter duo set out to create a brand that honors the Earth’s natural beauty, the wisdom of generations passed, and the craft of handknitting. Born from the belief that true luxury lies in the authenticity of tradition, the purity of natural materials, and the commitment to sustainability.
In the remote corners of Ladakh, where the winds sing and the mountains whisper ancient secrets, the herders roam freely with their flocks of yaks and sheep. This untamed land is home to some of the world’s finest wool.
We draw inspiration from the four elements that shape our world: Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. Each element is present in the fibers we use — soft lambswool, rich cashmere, and resilient yak wool — which are sourced directly from the herders of the Changthang Plateau. In this high altitude region, the wool is spun by hand with techniques passed down through generations, steeped in the wisdom of nature’s cycles. The land, the animals, and the people are all part of a delicate ecosystem, where each element plays a vital role in sustaining the other.
By working directly with these herders, without intermediaries, we honor the sacred bond between the people and the earth. This ensures that every fiber we use is ethically sourced, natural, and a true reflection of the harmony found in nature. We are committed to fair trade practices, supporting the local communities and ensuring that the materials we work with are not only luxurious but also sustainable.
Each piece we create is imbued with the spirit of the Himalayas — crafted from the Earth, shaped by the air that moves through the valleys, warmed by the sun’s fire, and made resilient by the waters that nourish the land. Just like the elements themselves, our garments are designed to stand the test of time, enduring through seasons and generations.
Our creations are more than just clothing. They are an invitation to connect with the Earth, to honor the traditions that came before us, and to wear something that tells a story of ancestry, nature, and craftsmanship. When you wear our piece, you are carrying forward the legacy of the land and its people, woven into every thread.
At the intersection of ancestry and nature, we find our purpose —
to craft pieces that honor the past while embracing a sustainable, mindful future.

Zero Chemicals. Full Integrity.
SKIN DEEP
From herder to garment, we use zero chemicals – no softeners, no dyes, no toxins. Our wool is untreated, safe for babies, pregnant women, those with eczema, or sensitive skin. Because your skin deserves more than beauty- it deserves kindness.
We don’t cover Nature’s brushstrokes-we celebrate them.
Raw Hues, Real Stories
We don’t dye our wool—because nature already did.
Every shade you see is the true color of the animal it came from: warm browns, silvery greys, creamy whites—streaked and marbled like mountain stone. No two garments are ever the same. To us, these tones aren’t imperfections—they’re living proof of a life lived in the wild. We choose to preserve this truth, not cover it. Because real beauty doesn’t need altering—it just needs to be seen.
"Whispers of the Plateau: Our Exquisite Fibers"
Yak Wool "Khullu" {ཁུ་ལུ། }
Yaks grow a dense outercoat beneath their coarse outer hair during winter to insulate against the harsh freezing cold. When spring arrives, they naturally shed this undercoat called as ‘molting’ which is then carefully collected by the herders without harm.
Lambswool or "bal" {བལ་}
A lamb’s first fleece is like a newborn’s touch- delicate, soft, and full of warmth. This first shearing yields the finest wool, a promise of comfort and resilience.
Cashmere or "Lena" {ལེ་ན་།}
The Changthangi goat “Changra” weathers the icy Himalayan winters with an ultra-fine undercoat, nature’s way of wrapping it in a warmth. As spring arrives, the goats naturally molt, and skilled hands gently comb out the precious fiber, preserving its softness.
