Camel hair comes from the undercoat of Bactrian camels, native to the deserts of Mongolia, China, and Central Asia. Used for centuries by nomadic tribes for warmth and durability, camel hair became a luxury textile in the 19th century when European fashion houses began importing it for coats and suits. Its natural tan or brown color and insulating properties made it a staple for cold climates, with production peaking in the mid-20th century. Today, camel hair is prized for its sustainability and softness, often sourced ethically from free-roaming camels, maintaining its status as a high-end, eco-friendly fabric in modern fashion and design.
