    Your Recipient's Story Card:

    Shokay, the Tibetan word for "yak", was started by Carol Chyau and Marie So following their years at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government. Carol and Marie have realized their dream to create a business that makes a socially and environmentally positive difference. By bringing these heirloom-quality garments of lavishly soft, warm and durable yak down to market, Carol and Marie are providing “luxury with a story.”

    Enjoy your lovely 100% pure yak-down gift knowing it is environmentally friendly, natural, sustainable and humane and that it supports economically marginalized Tibetan herders. Hand-washable in cold water.
