In a crowded luxury textile market, Fibre by Auskin distinguishes itself through a commitment to natural fibres and craftsmanship that enhances contemporary interiors. "Our brand is built on materials that bring warmth, depth and integrity to a space, while performing beautifully and standing the test of time," says Margaret Riceputo, Product Marketing Manager. "We work with partners who value substance over trends and are looking for solutions that offer genuine longevity."

Fibre by Auskin draws on the long history of the Auskin Group working with sheepskin and other natural fibres from Australia and New Zealand. The founders believed these materials deserved a prominent place in modern interiors, beyond traditional or rustic settings. "The idea was simple: natural fibres should have a stronger role in contemporary design," Riceputo explains. "We wanted to create products that reflect the quiet luxury and subtle elegance of sheepskin and other fibres."
As the business expanded, so did its vision. Investments in advanced tanning processes, responsible sourcing, skilled craftsmanship, and global logistics allowed the brand to support retailers and designers across multiple markets. "By providing consistent supply and tailored solutions, we help our partners build natural fibre collections with confidence," Riceputo adds. Today, Fibre by Auskin is recognized internationally for quality, reliability, and a dedication to materials that add character and longevity to interiors.

Ethical sourcing and sustainability
With global supply chains under increasing scrutiny, Fibre by Auskin emphasizes transparency and responsibility. "Our sheepskins come from Australia and New Zealand as by-products of the food industry," says Riceputo. "This ensures we honour the full value of the animal without driving unnecessary farming." The company's tanning facilities adhere to strict environmental protocols, including water recycling and energy-efficient processes, while quality controls guarantee safe and durable products.
Looking Ahead
Riceputo sees the next decade in luxury textiles focusing on traceability, authenticity, and environmental accountability. "Design professionals and retailers will increasingly seek natural-fibre products that are timeless, responsibly sourced, and built to last," she notes. Fibre by Auskin's experience with materials such as alpaca and sheepskin, combined with its ability to support design-focused partners worldwide, positions the brand strongly for this shift.
Working with natural fibres does present challenges, including variations in colour, texture, and wool length. "We overcome this through rigorous selection, expert craftsmanship, and controlled processing," Riceputo explains. "We also educate our partners with product information and training, so they can unlock the full potential of natural fibres in their collections."

The key lesson for designers, she emphasizes, is simple: design with respect for the material. "Let the character of sheepskin, alpaca, cotton or linen guide your design choices. It results in spaces with soul, depth, and longevity that synthetic alternatives rarely achieve."
Fibre by Auskin continues to support retailers, designers, and architects across Europe with quality products, ethical production, and long-term partnerships. "What drives us," Riceputo concludes, "is creating products that feel considered, dependable, and aligned with the way people want to live. This will remain the core of our work for years to come."
