La Ferme du Mohair

What La Ferme du Mohair does

La Ferme du Mohair is a family-run French agricultural and textile enterprise headquartered in Mazères, in the Pyrénées, operating an Angora goat breeding estate of approximately 35 hectares that the company describes as the largest of its kind in France. Founded in 1987 and organized as a SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) with €300,000 of share capital and registered under RCS 418 113 478 (FOIX), the company produces mohair fiber that is sent to Italy for spinning and dyeing and to Portugal for knitting before being returned for finishing and sale.

The company's commercial activity is entirely direct-to-consumer, executed through three parallel channels: its own e-commerce site ferme-mohair.com, a printed catalog, and a telephone order line. The catalog spans knitwear (sweaters, cardigans, scarves, hats, gloves), socks, and home textiles (throws, plaids, blankets), with unit prices ranging from approximately €11 to €600 per item, and has been extended with a textile care line (the CLEAN maintenance kit). Nicolas Roux is listed as Directeur de la publication.

The business model is asset-light on the manufacturing side and asset-heavier upstream: the company owns the herd and land, while spinning/dyeing and knitting are outsourced to established Italian and Portuguese partners. Revenue is captured entirely from end consumers; orders are processed via Lyra Collect/Payzen, Alma (3-installment) and PayPal (4-installment) payments, and fulfilled internationally through Colissimo to over 30 countries. The company also operates a customer loyalty program to support repeat purchases.
