The Story of Baby Mo

MANUFACTURE & HISTORY Mohair is the natural hair of the Angora goat which Colonel John Henderson first introduced to South Africa in 1838. The South African farmers have improved the breed which today far surpasses the original still found in other regions of the world. Baby Mo products are created by a wonderful group of  artisans in a boutique factory at Mandela Bay, 'The Mohair Capital of the Worls'.

 

 

 

 

 

SELF EMPOWERMENT

This cooperative venture had its humble beginnings in 1994 when it grew out of a self-help tapestry weaving project. With the support of a world renowned textile designer, economically disadvantaged people mastered the craft of hand weaving and looming, becoming skilled artisans. This worker owned factory proudly produces the finest Baby Mohair products for today's world market.

  ECO FRIENDLY from the smiling free range goats to the low energy utilization manufacturing process, the product care is also environmentally friendly.

ANIMAL FRIENDLY:
Searing at 6 months of age and every 6 months thereafter is essential to the goats' well being. The younger the animal, the finer the fur. Baby Mo
uses only the first two sheerings of the kidI baby goat hair. This is the softest of all mohair.  

 

 

CARE

Baby Mo is easy to care for. Periodically hand wash in tepid water with a mild detergent. Let dirt soak out, do not agitate. Hang to dry. Occasionally hand brush if 'fluffy' texture is desired. It can also be dry-cleaned. The fortunate owner will have many years of warmth, comfort and luxury!
