Vescom’s mohair velvet upholstery is a testament to the beauty of nature. The luxurious high-end fabrics are made entirely with the hair of Angora goats that live in only a few specific places in the world, ensuring the material’s exclusivity.
Vescom’s mohair is sourced from South Africa, where the animals are well cared for and in conditions perfectly suited to fostering the unique resource.
Leading expert in weaving mohair velvet fabrics
For decades, Vescom has been the leading expert in weaving mohair velvet fabrics – a specialized skill limited to a handful of weaving mills around the world, further contributing to the material’s exclusivity. The complex weaving process is undertaken in Vescom’s own certified 100% carbon-neutral weaving mill in the Netherlands. Harmoniously combining tradition and timelessness, the resulting fabrics celebrate handwork, craft and quality.
The benefits of mohair velvet upholstery
The properties and benefits of mohair velvet upholstery are intrinsic to this distinct all-natural material. Incredibly strong yet luxuriously soft, the fabric is long-lasting and easy to maintain in contract spaces. Mohair velvet upholstery can help control indoor climates, is fully flame retardant and has acoustic, sound-absorbing properties, making it a fitting choice for the likes of five-star and boutique hotels, upscale restaurants, high-end residential projects and opera houses. These qualities are confirmed by the successful use of Vescom mohair velvets in theatres and concert halls all over the globe.
Its subtle lustre is inherent to the material itself – no additional finishes are necessary – aligning with luxury’s shift from glitz and glamour towards natural comfort.
