RIPE
a refined pure mohair quality with the softest feel
The quality Ripe is made of 100% mohair of Angora goats, closely monitored by farmers ensuring their happiness and well-being.
A Ripe rug feels soft and pleasant, and retains its unique fine and silky sheen for years. It is a characteristic of a Ripe cut pile rug that it is subject to a subtle track marking, this occurs due to change of light reflection and reverses naturally during use. Ripe offers a range of tuft types; low cut, loop and high cut pile. This can be tufted in a mixture of different colours, or in a mixture with linen or eucalyptus yarns.
Mohair can be twisted and bent without damage to the fibre; it is the most durable animal fibre. Mohair is stronger than steel of the same diameter. The smooth fibres of mohair do not irritate the skin, even for people who are sensitive to most types of wool. Mohair’s fibres do not conduct heat, they provide good insulation. These benefits contribute to comfortable and healthy living.
