Luxe Layers: Baby Alpaca and Mohair Redefine Winter Warmth

Luxe Layers: Baby Alpaca and Mohair Redefine Winter Warmth

In the heart of Oliver Spencer’s Winter 25 campaign, three standout fabrics - Regent, Rosen, and Stirling -bring baby alpaca and mohair to the fore, blending heritage fibres with forward-thinking sustainability. These materials don’t just insulate; they elevate outerwear and knitwear into statements of conscious luxury.

 
 
 
 
 

Regent: Recycled Mohair’s Elegance

Our Regent fabric powers three hero pieces this season: the belted Big Coat, Lambeth jacket, and Norton jacket. Its composition - 60% recycled wool, 20% recycled polyester, 15% recycled mohair, 5% recycled other fibres - delivers a robust yet refined handle. Mohair, prized for its lustrous sheen and natural durability, adds textural depth and a subtle halo that catches light with quiet attitude. Here, recycled content ensures the fibre’s signature softness and insulating loft without new resource strain. The result? Outerwear that wraps you in warmth while wearing its eco-credentials lightly.

Rosen & Stirling: Baby Alpaca’s Supple Embrace

Across the knitwear collection - crew necks, vests, cardigans, and beanies - the Rosen and Stirling fabrics reign. Both share the same thoughtful blend: 49% baby alpaca, 21% merino extrafine wool, 30% recycled nylon. Rosen offers pure, saturated tones including a bold red, navy, charcoal grey, and pink; Stirling introduces a multi-black weave for understated pattern. Baby alpaca - shorn from the first clip of young animals - brings unparalleled softness, lighter weight, and superior warmth-to-weight ratio. Paired with merino’s fine crimp and recycled nylon’s resilient core, the yarns knit into garments that drape effortlessly and retain structure season after season.

Why Mohair and Baby Alpaca?

Mohair and baby alpaca are natural performance fibres. Mohair’s long, smooth strands reflect light and resist creasing; baby alpaca’s hollow-core structure traps heat without bulk. Both lend a tactile richness that synthetics can’t replicate. Blending with recycled nylon is industry practice for stability, but we insist on using post-consumer content, preserving the luxurious handle of the fabric while closing the loop on waste.
