In 2014, business partners Matt Scanlan and Diederik Rijsemus drove into Mongolia's Gobi Desert with $2.5 million tied up in plastic bags. Their goal: purchase 50 tons of cashmere wool from nomadic goat herders for their new clothing company, Naadam. Today, Naadam brings in more than $100 million per year selling relatively affordable cashmere clothing. Its lowest-cost - and most popular - cashmere sweater sells for $98.
