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. Moving away from mass industry, we work exclusively with traditional, family-run mills in Italy, Scotland, and Spain. It is there that our designs are brought to life on weaving looms with masterful precision and in limited editions.
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 finest synthesis of a couture accessory and functional comfort tailored for First and Business Class. Ultralight, wrinkle-resistant, and perfectly sized for carry-on luggage, it offers balanced thermal comfort on airplanes, yachts, or during chilly evenings at beach resorts.
How do I preserve the delicate fiber structure over time?
Precious natural fibers like the finest yak hair, noble mohair, and high-quality cashmere possess inherent self-cleaning properties. To preserve the delicate texture and brilliance of the colors for years to come, regular airing in the fresh air is ideal. In case of stains or for general refreshing, we exclusively recommend a professional, gentle dry cleaning.
