Luxury Cashmere brand KASMIRI launches in Australia
Sydney - Luxury Cashmere brand, KASMIRI will launch in Australia this month with a premiere launch party at The Rocks in Sydney.
Australian-born KASMIRI entrepreneur and Founder, Anna Kiousis says KASMIRI has fantastic international online sales and good brand awareness in New Zealand.
“But it’s time to bring KASMIRI home to Australia and build greater brand awareness through retail distribution and build a global brand.”
Having working as an International development consultant in war-torn countries for more than 20 years, Kiousis developed a passion for helping disadvantaged people particularly women and so the idea of KASMIRI was born.
She works with artisan weavers in Nepal to produce the finest hand-woven cashmere accessories from featherweight cashmere scarves to indulgent lounge robes all using artisanal manufacturing to preserve the traditions of these true artisans.
“I want KASMIRI to be a true circular economy business with a portion of our profits supporting our weaver’s and their families with improved healthcare and education.
“I also want to bring back style and sexiness into cashmere accessories. It’s not an accessory to just to keep you warm and the fabulous feel against your skin but how it makes you feel.
“Whether you are stepping out to a gala event in New York, going on safari to the Serengeti or adding a vibe to your street wear, KASMIRI makes a fashion statement at ‘I have arrived’, and can accompany you through all of your life’s adventures.”
She is inviting Australian and New Zealand fashion editors and influencers to the launch to share her story and experience first-hand her luxury KASMIRI collection.

Lisa was born in Auckland at the start of the 1970s, living in a small campsite community on the North Shore called Browns Bay. She spent a significant part of her life with her grandparents, often hanging out at the beaches. Lisa has many happy memories from those days at Browns Bay beach, where fish were plentiful on the point and the ocean was rich in seaweed. She played in the water for hours, going home totally “sun-kissed.” “An adorable time to grow up,” Lisa tells me.
Lisa enjoyed many sports; she was a keen tennis player and netballer, playing in the top teams for her age right up until the family moved to Wellington. Lisa was fifteen years old, which unfortunately marked the end of her sporting career. Local teams were well established in Wellington, and her attention was drawn elsewhere.
