Baby Mo's spectacular kid mohair products are hand made & created by a brilliant artisan group in 'The Mohair Capital of the World' near Mandela Bay, South Africa.
Mohair is the natural hair of the Angora goat. Introduced first by Colonel John Henderson to South Africa in 1838, the smiling, Angora Goats thrive in the South African sunny climate. Here the farmers have improved the breed. It is well established; South African Baby Mo (kid) mohair far surpasses other mohair found in different regions of the world today.
|
ECO FRIENDLY: The smiling free range goats, low energy utilisation during the manufacturing process, and product care are all environmentally friendly.
ANIMAL FRIENDLY - Shearing 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 shearings of the kid / baby goat hair. This is the softest of all mohair. |
OUR 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 and her textile engineer husband. Economically disadvantaged people were taught and mastered the craft of hand weaving and looming, becoming the skilled artisans they are today.
Our WORKER OWNED factory proudly produces the finest Baby Mohair products for today's world market.
