The Company began just over 2 years ago selling exquisite cashmere sourced under ethical principles from Outer Mongolia.  The on-line business is based in Harrogate although most clients have so far been in London.

Managing Director, Vanessa Streeton, wanted a northern presence where customers can see and feel the beauty and softness of cashmere which is unrivalled in its quality and design.  The cashmere pieces include exquisite, stylish accessories and knitwear for men and women and an exclusive interiors range.

CocoonU has also expanded its luxury ethical collection and now offers organic, hand-made bath and body products and beautiful fair trade jewellery.

The  CocoonU shop is located at 5 Montpellier Mews, Harrogate, HG1 2TQ. Take a short walk from Betty’s Tearooms down Montpellier Hill to visit us and experience the cosmopolitan and magical atmosphere of the cobbled streets.
