About The Glamorous Goat
The Glamorous Goat produces everyday luxury mohair socks and heirloom quality throws made from Angora mohair, a sustainably produced natural fibre.
The Glamorous Goat is renowned for its high quality lifestyle and performance socks and luxurious mohair throws, which are designed in Wanaka, New Zealand, and grown and produced in South Africa.
A Family Business
Steven Hobson comes from an Angora goat farming heritage. His family have been raising Angora goats in South Africa since 1857.
The family farm in South Africa is still run by the Hobson family, who self-manage our farming and shearing processes. Our socks and throws are produced in a factory which is managed by Steven’s dad, Denys, who has been refining the art of weaving for more than 30 years.
Steven and his wife Hayley are proud to continue the Hobson family legacy here in Wanaka, New Zealand, with their offering of high quality, eco-conscious mohair products.
Ethically Produced
Mohair is the fleece of the Angora goat and is known as the “diamond fibre” due to its lustrous and resilient characteristics, making it a highly desirable fabric in comparison to wool and cotton. It is widely seen as a symbol of luxury and exclusivity, and our goal is to give everyone the opportunity to experience the benefits of mohair clothing and accessories.
Mohair: A Sustainable Fibre
Mohair is the miracle fleece of the Angora goat. Known as the ‘diamond fibre’, mohair is silky soft yet durable.
Breathable so you don’t get hot, and insulative to keep you warm and cosy, the mohair fibre is more elastic than merino wool, so it’s naturally more resilient and less prone to shrinking or stretching.
The unique properties of mohair make it perfect for those with skin conditions. Because of its surface smoothness, mohair is less itchy than other wool.
