The mohair comes from angora goats bred in South Africa and is fully traceable to the individual farms. All mohair is independently certified to the Responsible Mohair Standard (RMS) by Control Union (CU 898826), ensuring high standards of animal welfare and responsible farming. The silk is cruelty free, with fibres collected from cocoons only after the moths have matured and emerged naturally. Produced with strong ethical, social, and environmental responsibility, and free from harmful chemicals, Soft Silk Mohair embodies mindful luxury and timeless elegance in every stitch.
