Wonders of the Anatolian Highlands: Angora Goats

One of Anatolia's most extraordinary gifts to the world is the magnificent Angora goat. Native to the ancient city of Angora (modern-day Ankara, Turkey), these unique animals have been renowned for centuries for their soft, silky wool. This wool produces mohair, often referred to as "Diamond Fiber" for its unique qualities.

Unlike regular wool, mohair is incredibly lightweight yet provides thermal insulation, resists wrinkling, and maintains its softness and flexibility over time. Its natural sheen gives it a lustrous shine, making it highly desirable in luxury fashion. Furthermore, mohair is not only luxurious but also a functional fiber due to its ability to keep warm in winter and cool in summer.

For centuries, mohair, harvested from Anatolian Angora goats, was so valuable that the Ottoman Empire tightly controlled its trade, ensuring its status as a symbol of elegance and exclusivity. Today, Mohair&Angora carries this legacy forward by blending it with contemporary design. As we said, historic yet timeless design. Our Mohair scarf and shawl collection embodies this ancient art, meticulously crafted to bring you the finest, most exquisite fabric from the Anatolian Highlands.

As we achieve this, we prioritize respecting Angora goats and the environment. We ensure they are cared for and fed in good conditions. We also support this system with sustainability.
