Madeleine Thompson: From Hong Kong Roots to Global Cashmere Empire
Founded in 2009 by Hong Kong-based designer Madeleine Thompson, this British luxury cashmere brand has grown from local startup to global sensation. Operating from her studio in Lai Chi Kok, Kowloon, Madeleine built her cashmere empire with a clear vision: to bring contemporary, chic shapes to the knitwear market.
The brand’s Hong Kong location has been instrumental to its success, allowing Madeleine Thomson to work closely with a small, family-run factory in China. This proximity to production has enabled her to explore every creative idea while maintaining the highest quality standards. “I’m very proud of our product, of where we make it and how we make it,” Madeleine explains.
What started as one woman’s desire to move away from unflattering twinsets has evolved into a brand with global presence stretching from Hong Kong to LA and beyond, proving that geography is no barrier to fashion innovation.
