Crafting Sustainability: The Tengri Way

Tengri means ‘Sky God’ — the primary deity of a pantheon of gods who governed all human existence and natural phenomena on Earth. The words ‘Tengri’ and ‘sky’ are synonymous, the physical appearance of Tengri was unknown, considered to be timeless and infinite, like a blue sky.

These qualities, and the meaning of Tengri, inspire the design principles behind one of the world’s truly regenerative, traceable, transparent and trusted luxury brands, founded in 2014 by Nancy Johnston.

Hear more about the Tengri journey — from Mongolia’s Khangai Mountains to the Yorkshire Pennines. It starts with the Khangai yak, an indigenous creature that has roamed this region for 10,000 years. Every spring, nomadic herders comb rare fibres from these animals as they shed their winter coats. In family-owned mills in Yorkshire, natural elements, heritage craftsmanship and the latest innovations transform these rare fibres into exquisite, limited-edition collections for fashion and home interiors.
