This 100% mohair jacket, made by Frances van Hasselt and her studio team in the small Karoo town of Prince Albert, is a part of Frances V.H Mohair’s SOFA (Supporting Old Factories in Africa) Collection. The SOFA Collection works with iconic African mohair factories to create new imaginings around locally produced mohair products. Made from end of the run mohair yarn stock, this collection is made up of small units in limited edition colourways. This differentiates the SOFA Collection from the brand’s other offerings, where the mohair is self-sourced, washed and dyed in-house by Frances and her team – handmade from start to finish. Frances V.H Mohair believes in sustainable processes, working with what already exists, and creating unique, timeless pieces which bring warmth, comfort and a connection to nature into homes and wardrobes. This is what prompted the SOFA Collection.
