The company retained all the skills learned in almost 200 years in the pile fabric trade, offering fabrics in natural fibres such as Alpaca, Mohair, Wool, Camel Hair, Cashmere and mixtures in many finishes and pile heights, along with many man-made fibres. "

" In the light of today's prevailing attitudes on ecology and conservation it was decided to concentrate on producing quality cloths in natural fibres for ladies and gents winter coats, Mohair for Teddy-Bears, Wool and Mohair for paint roller and pads. One hundred percent Wool for car rugs and fabrics for industrial uses. "
