Reinhard Schulte Manufacturing Company in Germany has been the supplier of high quality mohair fabrics to the famous Steiff company since 1901. Designers around the world rely on this company for a seemingly endless and innovative variety of the finest fabrics for their teddy bear creations and soft sculpture art.
The best bears wear Schulte´s natural coats! Schulte uses 100 % Mohair to produce Teddy Bear fabrics. Mohair is the natural hair of the Angora goat -(no relation of the angora rabbit!) Mohair got it's name from the Arabian term "Muhayyar", which means "fabric of goat hair".
The company produces special surface effects which make it's fabrics almost unique-world-wide. Many of the specialised finishing processes are exclusive to Schulte production. Whichever pile finish you need or wish for: swirled, distressed, antique, curly or plain, densely woven or sparse - this company produces them all.
