The word ‘Hinterveld’ is of German origin and literally means ‘The land behind’. It refers to the vast, dry and barren plains behind the Southern Cape escarpment of South Africa where the Angora goat, the source of Mohair, lives and thrives. The Stucken Group originally bought Pure Cape Textiles in 2010, where after it underwent a facelift and name change and ‘Hinterveld’ was born.
