Shokay is luxury with a story - one that draws on humanity and inspires purpose in the world of contemporary fashion.

Hidden from most of the world by its remote location, Shokay yak down derives its unique origins from the mountainous Himalayan regions of Western China. Our fibers are hand-combed from the yaks that dwell there, whose ancient existences continue to serve as a life source for the Tibetan herders. From this down comes a soft and beaufiful fabric, unlike any other.

We aim to source our yak fiber directly from Tibetan herders, enabling them to earn a sustainable living while preserving their traditional lifestyle. A portion of our profits is subsequently returned to these communities to assist the herders with local development needs in areas such as health and education. We believe that by investing and reinvesting our success into the local communities, we ensure the opprotunity of choice fro future Tibetan generations.

At Shokay, we strive to bring forth a fresh and stylish fabric to the market in a socially conscious manner. Our philosophy is to dress timeless elegance with a touch of humanity and warmth.

Weave Shokay into your world.
