Mohair in the news…

Li Edelkoort, the world renown trend forecaster is working with Mohair South Africa to promote interest in the sustainability and versatility of mohair.  This is what she recently had to say about our link with mohair….

“Around the world villagers and shepherds are dependent on their animals providing meat, milk and material to keep them nourished, healthy and warm.  Their relationship with sheep, goats, lamas and yaks has always been one of respect and reverence.

Our new world turns to the noble and ecological richness of fiber with the added advantage of natural shades of neutrals that bring variation without the destruction of the environment.  Mohair is a major driving force within this movement.

Its characteristic natural tones in the warmest sustainable fibers on earth are able to cuddle us in blankets and scarves.

Suddenly luxury and ecology will merge in an attempt to seduce the consumer in the economy of purchasing a durable and timeless piece of fabric.

Investment dressing and living as never seen before, this philosophy will provide the original and personal style the consumer will be craving after the credit crunch”

We look forward to Li’s involvment in our fiber.

A recent issue of WILD FIBERS magazine focused on mohair (www.wildfibersmagazine.com).  The editor of the magazine, Linda Cortright visited Coral Stephens and will be featuring us in an upcoming issue.
