A trip of mohair goats gather in a shed at the Wheatlands farm outside Graaf-Reinet, on March 4, 2026. Wheatlands owes its reputation not to the charm of its refined retreat. Herein lies the true treasure: unique goats with drooping ears, curved horns, and golden fleeces. Their silky, fluffy curls sell for up to 900 rand per kilo (45 euros) and are used to make sweaters and knitwear, most often blended with wool. The Short family has the good fortuneand the prestigeof collaborating with a renowned French fashion house. This traceability allows the brand to partner with a trusted producer and protect its image. (Photo by MARCO LONGARI / AFP via Getty Images)
