Using mohair

Lustrous, feathery and offering exceptional colour reflection, mohair is one of the world’s most beautiful natural fibre and has always been a symbol of luxury and exclusivity. The added beauty of mohair is that it is a renewable resource, providing a sustainable production chain between animal and human. Mohair is the fleece of the Angora goats, which are shorn twice a year and are not harmed in any way during the process.

This is why we choose to work with this deluxe fibre:

  • Lustre: mohair’s natural lustre gives garments a silky sheen. It’s the ideal garment to wear day or night.
  • Durability: because of its pliability, mohair is rated as one of the world’s most durable fibres.
  • Leightweight: the fabric is luxuriously lightweight and renowned for its versatility, staying cool in summer and warm in winter.
  • Dye-responsive: mohair responds magnificently to dyes, retaining even the most brilliant colours over time.
  • Climate control: mohair breathes naturally, absorbing and releasing atmospheric moisture and controlling its own ‘climate’ to ensure optimal comfort.
  • Crease resistant: products made from mohair have an innate elasticity, which ensures that they hold their shape and do not crease.

Product care

With its delicate appearance, it is often a surprise to discover just how durable and hard-wearing mohair can be. As with most luxury fibres, however, mohair requires proper handling to ensure that it lasts and maintains its beauty over time. Please follow our recommendations:

  • Store garment in a cool dry place.
  • Do not spray perfume directly on garment.
  • Do not keep mohair garments on hangers. Please fold.
  • To fluff up, lightly shake or gently brush down by hand.

WASHING

Your mohair item can be cleaned by a reputable dry cleaner or you can wash it yourself by following these simple steps.

  • Soak in tepid water using mild detergent.
  • Rinse in clean, cool water. A small amount of fabric softener can be used if desired.
  • Hang or lay flat to dry. Mohair dries quite quickly.
  • When dry, a brisk gentle shake or brush will restore the pile for which mohair is renowned.
  • Do not tumble dry.
  • Do not expose to the sun.
