Mohair
Mohair is a particularly soft material shorn from the necks of Angora goats.
Loop, brushed, fancy, lustrous—whatever their surface appearance, all of our mohair fabrics are soft, warm, light and shiny.
Our Finishing Workshop offers a multitude of possibilities: napped, glossy, brushed, bulked, loop, long pile, shorn, etc. We are able to meet all your needs.
We offer a very wide range of colors. You can also alter our fabrics to your colorful desires, whether stock dyed (before the spinning operation) or piece dyed (after weaving). We can also craft tailor-made patterns thanks to our design office. (Checks, stripes, herringbone, plaid, etc.)

Mohair: an exceptional fiber for high-end fabrics
Coming from the fleece of Angora goats, the mohair is renowned for its unmatched softness and natural shine. This precious fiber gives fabrics unique qualities, combining lightness, warmth, and brilliance, making it a preferred choice for refined and elegant textile creations.
Diverse finishing options for unique creations
Our mohair fabric range comes in various finishes, such as boucle, brushed, fancy, or glossy. Each finish offers a unique texture and aesthetic, enabling fashion designers to explore a wide range of styles and applications for their creations.
A workshop dedicated to finishing and pretreatment processes
In our Finishing & Pretreatment workshop, we offer a wide range of treatments to enhance mohair: brushing, polishing, combing, puffing, creating boucle, long or shaved hairs. This expertise allows us to precisely meet the specific requirements of each project, ensuring high-quality fabrics suitable for various applications.
Customization of colors and designs
We offer a wide range of colors for our mohair fabrics. Thanks to our design team, custom patterns such as checks, stripes, chevrons, or tartan can also be created to perfectly meet your aesthetic and functional expectations.
Commitment to quality and textile innovation
With over 160 years of history and experience, we blend tradition and innovation to produce high-quality mohair fabrics. Our centuries-old expertise and commitment to excellence enable us to collaborate with leading fashion houses, helping create timeless and elegant pieces.
Mohair is a noble fiber originating from the Angora goat’s fleece. Valued for its shine, softness, and lightness, the mohair used by Jules Tournier mainly comes from carefully selected farms in South Africa, renowned for the exceptional quality of their fibers.
Mohair stands out for its natural strength, excellent insulating properties, and silky appearance. It provides structure to garments while maintaining a soft touch and a radiant brightness. This makes it a preferred choice for elegant and durable pieces.
Our mohair fabrics are perfect for high-end jackets and coats, stoles and scarves, as well as for home decor accessories such as bed throws and blankets. Thanks to their flowing drape and comfort, they are highly valued by fashion houses and designers for creating elegant, structured silhouettes, and by interior decorators for bed throws, cushions, and blankets.
Although luxurious, mohair remains relatively easy to care for if maintained properly. We recommend professional dry cleaning to preserve its quality, shine, and texture over time.
