HAND-LOOMED IN SOUTH AFRICA

A luxurious throw woven from rich mohair and featuring a large-scale print in purple plaid. Cozy up with these timeless pieces woven by our sustainably-minded artisans from South Africa.

Story

These soft and supple throws are part of a circular upcycle program that supports old factories in South Africa. Our partners work with iconic mohair factories in need of support and together create new concepts around locally produced, sustainable mohair products.

Made from end of the run mohair yarn stock, this collection is made up of small, limited edition colourways. Mohair blankets are fantastic season-less pieces since they are so light and breathable, and because they are a natural fibre they adapt to the temperature of their surroundings. 

Mohair, the fleece of an Angora goat, is one of the world's most ancient, exclusive and sustainable natural fibres, and our artisan partners treat the animals with care and respect––they’ve been vetted and have the highest ethical standards possible. And that matters to us.

Frances V.H.

FRANCES V.H Mohair is a women-led textile studio based in the Karoo, South Africa. Established by Frances van Hasselt, a designer and entrepreneur focusing on developing mohair textiles locally.

Raised on a mohair farm in the Karoo desert, van Hasselt has a deep affinity for this natural fibre. She collaborates with a team of women artisans, weaving a story about the origins of textiles, simultaneously allowing the natural environment to inform every aspect of their design and making process.

Mohair is an ancient and sustainable natural fibre. South Africa, and specifically the Karoo desert, is home to Angora goat farming and produces the world’s largest supply of mohair. Working purely with mohair, FRANCES V.H Mohair is one of the only textile studios developing a variety of products informed by the full life cycle of Angora goats and the environment to create work that allows for the raw material to define the final piece.

Van Hasselt traces the steps of textiles back to their roots; Fabrics that start with rainfall, the land, the importance of happy, healthy animals in order to produce quality mohair, the care of a herdsman, the quality of water, and the communities that nurture fabrics into form.
