The Wonders of the Anatolian Highlands: Angora Goats

One of Anatolia’s most extraordinary gifts to the world is the magnificent Angora Goat. These unique animals, native to the ancient province of “Angora” (modern-day Ankara, Türkiye), have been celebrated for centuries for their soft, silky fleece. This fleece produces Mohair, often referred to as the “Diamond Fiber” for its unparalleled qualities—a radiant sheen, exceptional warmth, thermoregulation, and remarkable strength and durability.

Unlike ordinary wool, it is incredibly lightweight yet insulating, resistant to wrinkles, and maintains its softness and elasticity over time. Its natural luster gives it a luminous glow, making it highly desirable in high fashion. Moreover, mohair is a fiber of not only luxury but also function due to its ability to keep warm in winter and cool in summer.

For centuries, mohair from Anatolian Angora goats was so valuable that the Ottoman Empire tightly controlled its trade, ensuring its status as a symbol of refinement and exclusivity. Today, Mohair&Angora carries forward this legacy, blending heritage with contemporary design. Historical but timeless design, as we say. Our collection of mohair scarves and shawls embodies this ancient artistry, crafted with meticulous care to bring you the finest, most exquisite fibers from the Anatolian Highlands.

While achieving this, we do not neglect to treasure Angora goats and the nature. We make sure the Angora goats are taken care of and cherished in good conditions. Furthermore, we support this system also through sustainability.
