Our story
Growing up in the Baltics, Dragon Hugs founder Solveiga Gomez Hansen spent her teenage years caring for infants in a specialized nursery.
Before bedtime, she would wrap each baby in a long, warm embrace she called a “Dragon Hug” — a gesture of comfort and safety.
Years later, she imagined capturing that same feeling in the softest natural materials.
Today, Dragon Hugs creates premium cashmere blankets and shawls designed to wrap both babies and adults in that same warmth and love.

The History and Origins of Cashmere Goats
Cashmere comes from the soft undercoat of the Capra Hircus goats living high in the Himalayas and Mongolia, where winters reach –40°C. Their fine, warm fibers are carefully collected and spun into threads ranging from light to luxuriously thick. The result is a material that is softer, warmer, and far more breathable than sheep’s wool — gentle enough to wear directly on the skin.
First noted in the Himalayan region centuries ago, this rare fiber later astonished Europeans for its extraordinary softness. Today, “cashmere” remains synonymous with warmth, lightness, and lasting luxury.
