CALW
German luxury coats in noble natural fibre — llama, alpaca, mohair, cashmere and camel.
German coats, made
of noble fibre.
CALW is a German label whose coats and outerwear are made in Germany from the finest natural fibres — llama, alpaca, mohair, merino wool, cashmere and camel hair, often blended for warmth and softness. The garments carry the marks of their own make: the country of origin, and frequently the description of a luxury coat, on the label itself.
Beyond what the garment and its label genuinely state, we do not invent a history. What CALW offers is legible in the hand — the density of the pile, the weight of the cloth, the quiet warmth of noble fibre.

"A fibre like llama or camel hair does not need an introduction. It needs only to be worn."— Anemoia Vestiaire
Read the fibre.
Because this label is best judged by material, our cashmere note is a natural companion — and the wider library covers how natural fibres behave, insulate and last.
We describe each piece by what it plainly is — the fibre in the hand, the make, and the honest condition — and by what the label genuinely states.
Where anything is not something we can verify, we leave it out. We would rather say less and be accurate.
Fibre content, measurements and condition are set out on each product page. Any maker, fibre or origin labelling is recorded exactly as found.The fibre is the case.
Llama, alpaca, mohair and cashmere were never disposable materials, and a fully-made German coat was built to last. Well-kept examples from earlier decades frequently carry finer, warmer fibre than the same money buys new — and they have already lasted the years that expose a poor make.
We present each piece for what it is, and let the material speak.
