The House
Cashmere is a rare fibre. We believe it deserves to be treated with the utmost care.
Mahogany was born of that conviction.
To us, cashmere is more than a product: it is a living material — one we choose with care, wear and cherish for years to come.
Our story
Mahogany was founded in 2005, inspired by the belief that fashion could be done differently. At a time when most brands still focused on physical shops, Vanessa and Philippe Romain made a bold choice: to devote themselves exclusively to cashmere and offer it online.
From the outset, the house was built as an independent business, free to set its own course, pace and standards.
Since then, Mahogany has explored the possibilities of cashmere with unwavering dedication — its softness, its colour, the craft behind it — creating 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, supported by a committed team that shares its vision.
Our vision
We do not believe in disposable cashmere.
We believe a beautiful jumper should be worn for years, evolve over time and find its place in a wardrobe made to last.
That means making choices: selecting the right fibres, refining the construction, favouring natural materials and offering colours that transcend the seasons.
Creating less, but better. And creating to last.
Our team
Mahogany is a house with a close-knit team, where every step matters.
From design and the refinement of each style to customer relations and production, every piece is the result of precise, dedicated teamwork.
A close-knit team guided by a shared commitment: to do things well, without fuss.
