OEM mohair cardigans for Ghanaian brands and importers — kid mohair-silk blends, brushed halo construction and open-front silhouettes. Produced in Turkey, shipped to Tema, with the hand-finishing a mohair piece demands.
Mohair is a premium fibre for contemporary and luxury knitwear — the halo, the lustre, the tactile quality are hard to replicate in synthetic alternatives. We produce brushed mohair cardigans and kid mohair-silk blend pieces on flat-knit machines at gauges that allow the fibre to bloom correctly. Hand-finishing, proper brushing technique and in-house QC are what separate a mohair piece that photographs and sells from one that pills and returns. For a Ghanaian brand building a premium line, that consistency is the whole point.
Kid mohair-silk blend (72/28 — the luxury standard), brushed adult mohair, mohair-merino blend for structure. European-spun yarns with origin documentation.
2gg to 10gg depending on fibre blend and desired halo density. Our team advises on the right gauge for your silhouette — halo density changes significantly between 3gg and 5gg.
In-house brushing for consistent halo. Multiple passes for deeper bloom, single-pass for a lighter hand. Steaming and garment finishing to set the shape before packing.
Open-front cardigan, button cardigan, oversized drop-shoulder, belted wrap. Long-length and cropped proportions both well-suited to mohair's drape characteristics.
The 72/28 kid mohair-silk blend is the yarn behind most of the high-halo cardigans appearing in contemporary and luxury knitwear. The kid mohair provides the soft, fine halo; the silk adds structure, luminosity and prevents excessive stretch. We source from European spinners — predominantly Italian and Portuguese mills — with full fibre origin records, so a brand in Accra can stand behind the provenance of the yarn.
At 5–7gg in a kid mohair-silk, the finished cardigan reads premium and carries the highest margin per unit in a knitwear collection. For a Ghanaian retailer or label positioning at the top of the market, that retail multiple is what justifies the higher FOB price relative to a merino or cotton piece. We produce in Turkey and ship to Tema; we do not claim any local Ghanaian origin.
Production runs on our own floor: 15 Shima Seiki WHOLEGARMENT machines and 7 Stoll flat-knit machines, in-house. That means seamless WHOLEGARMENT cardigans with no side seams to irritate against mohair's halo, or fully-fashioned panels on the Stoll machines for structured, button-front pieces. Minimum order quantity is 250 pieces per colour, per size — low enough for an Accra label testing a premium capsule, high enough for us to hold the gauge, brushing and finishing consistent across the run.

Indicative FOB Mersin at 250–500 pcs MOQ. Add ocean freight to Tema or Takoradi, the ECOWAS CET (~20% apparel) plus VAT/NHIL/GETFund and the COVID-19 levy, and ICUMS clearance for landed cost in GHS.
Let's be straight about the trade picture. There is no FTA between Turkey and Ghana, so finished knitwear lands under the ECOWAS Common External Tariff — about 20% for apparel — plus VAT, NHIL, GETFund and the COVID-19 health recovery levy. Chinese goods clear at the same headline tariff. There is no tariff advantage over China. We will not pretend otherwise.
What we do offer: genuine flat-knit and WHOLEGARMENT quality, China+1 supply security so you are not dependent on a single sourcing country, an English-language B2B relationship with clear documentation, and a premium product that complements — never copies — Ghana's own kente and wax-print heritage. Imports clear through ICUMS (UNIPASS) with the GSA and GRA; we ship to Tema and Takoradi from Mersin in roughly 10–14 days. In a stable, English-speaking market like Ghana, a reliable Turkish knitwear partner earns its place on quality and consistency, not on a cheaper customs bill.

No. There is no free trade agreement between Turkey and Ghana, so finished knitwear from Turkey enters under the ECOWAS Common External Tariff at roughly 20% for apparel, plus VAT, NHIL, GETFund and the COVID-19 health recovery levy on top. Chinese goods pay the same headline tariff, so there is no tariff advantage over China. What you buy from us is quality, China+1 supply security, WHOLEGARMENT and flat-knit capability, and an English-language B2B partner — not a cheaper customs bill.
Ghana's textile heritage — GTP and Akosombo wax prints, kente weaving and printing — is a different category from flat-knit mohair knitwear. We do not compete with it; we complement it. A Ghanaian brand can carry its own printed and woven heritage lines and add a premium flat-knit mohair cardigan range produced in Turkey, giving a fuller wardrobe without building a knitting facility.
Ocean freight from Mersin to Tema (or Takoradi) typically runs about 10–14 days in transit. Clearance is handled through ICUMS (UNIPASS), with the GSA and GRA involved on standards and revenue. We invoice in your preferred currency; landed cost in GHS (Cedi) depends on the ECOWAS CET, the applicable levies and freight at the time of import.
