FAQ & Material Care

What makes a Catharina Mende design piece so unique?
As a specialized luxury niche brand for high-end home textiles, we break away from mass production. Every wool blanket and travel blanket is conceived as a design object and a lifelong "travel companion". Our signature lies in avant-garde, complex color compositions that serve as visual statements in interior design and global travel. We work exclusively with the world's finest and most exquisite natural fibers – such as precious cashmere, rare yak wool, extra-fine merino wool, and mohair.

Which manufacturers produce the collections?
The uncompromising standards of our niche label require the world’s finest artisans. Bypassing industrial mass production, we collaborate solely with historic, family-run mills in Italy, Scotland, and Spain. On the best looms, our designs are brought to life with masterly precision and in limited quantities.

Why is the "Light Companion" considered the ultimate luxury travel blanket?
The "Light Companion" was specifically created for the demands of the modern cosmopolitan. It represents the world's most refined synthesis of a couture accessory and functional comfort, tailored for first and business class. Ultra-lightweight, crease-resistant, and perfectly adapted for hand luggage, it offers balanced thermal comfort on airplanes, yachts, or cool evenings at beach resorts.

How do I preserve the delicate fiber structure over time?
Precious natural fibers like premium yak, fine mohair, and high-quality cashmere possess natural self-cleaning properties. To preserve the soft texture and vibrant color brilliance for years to come, regular airing out in fresh air is highly effective. For spot cleaning or refreshing, we recommend professional, delicate dry cleaning only.
