The House
Cashmere is a rare material. We believe it deserves to be treated with the utmost exigence.
It is from this conviction that Mahogany was born.
More than a product, cashmere is for us a living material — chosen with care, worn, and kept.
Our story
Mahogany was born in 2005, driven by the intuition that fashion could also be written differently. While most brands were still placing their bets on physical boutiques, Vanessa and Philippe Romain made a radical choice: to dedicate themselves exclusively to cashmere, and to offer it online.
From the very beginning, the house was built as an independent structure, free in its choices, its rhythm and its standards.
Since then, Mahogany has explored the material with consistency — softness, colour, craft — to create pieces designed to last, to be worn, repaired, and passed on.
Twenty years on, the house continues to move forward with the same exacting standards, surrounded by a committed team faithful to this vision.
Our vision
We do not believe in ephemeral cashmere.
We believe that a beautiful jumper should be worn for many years, evolve with time, and find its place in a lasting wardrobe.
This requires choices: selecting the right fibres, working with precise constructions, favouring natural materials, offering colours that transcend the seasons.
Create less, but better. And built to last.
Our team
Mahogany is a human-scale house, where every step matters.
From design to model development, from customer relations to production, each piece is the result of collective, precise and dedicated work.
A close-knit team, guided by a single standard: doing things well, simply.
Vanessa - Founder & Managing Director
Founder and managing director of Mahogany, she has carried the vision since its very beginning. At the head of the flock, she guides the house with exacting standards, attentive to every detail — and to the balance of the whole.
Olivier - Web Developer
Present since Mahogany's very beginnings, he is behind the first website. He designed and evolved its architecture, patiently weaving the threads together to offer a smooth, simple experience… and one true to the house.
Dominique - Collection Director
He conceives and develops Mahogany's pieces. He works the knit with precision, assembles, adjusts, and sometimes unravels, until he finds exactly the right stitch.
Marine - Customer Service
At the heart of the house, she oversees day-to-day operations. She coordinates, adjusts and ensures every thread stays in place — so that everything runs smoothly. A trusted point of contact, she knows Mahogany inside out — and often, so do you.
Charly and Chloé - Logistics & Dispatch
They orchestrate all logistics, from receipt to dispatch. Every piece passes through their hands, carefully prepared before leaving the fold.
Nadja - Stylist & Image Director
Stylist and image director, she works on the collections alongside Dominique and oversees the visual universe of the house. She brings the pieces to life, composes the imagery and shapes the way Mahogany is seen.
Manon - Digital Manager
She develops and nurtures Mahogany's online presence. She structures content and weaves the connections between the house and those who follow it.
Florian - IT Development
Alongside Olivier, he contributes to the ongoing development and continuous improvement of the Mahogany platform, stitch by stitch.
Aurélien - Sales
He supports the development of the house and contributes to expanding its reach.
Mahogany is a house of material, working with exigence — and with heart.
