Treasures of Anatolia

For centuries, Anatolia's fertile lands have hosted numerous civilizations, from Göbeklitepe to the Hittites, Galatians, Romans, and the Ottoman Empire. Anatolia's rich cultural heritage isn't limited to its monumental sites and artifacts. It encompasses the region's breathtaking natural beauty, deep-rooted history, vibrant arts, and traditional crafts. Among these treasures lies a lesser-known gem: luxurious mohair, produced from the Angora goat.

The artwork, titled "Ankara Landscape," is significant not only because it captures the city's landscape but also because it depicts the stages of mohair production, a significant economic activity in Ankara at the time. In the foreground, Angora goats are depicted being sheared, highlighting the city's renowned mohair trade and economic ties to the Netherlands. At Mohair&Angora, we are dedicated to artistically capturing and sharing these treasures.

At Mohair&Angora, this timeless heritage inspires a special collection of mohair scarves and shawls, each honoring the heritage of Anatolia. 

Inspired by ancient cities, legendary love stories, and the wisdom of classical mythology, Mohair&Angora offers a selection of carefully designed pieces that weave history while blending tradition with modern elegance.
