Our merino wool is 100% natural. Merino is natures wonder fibre, and over the past few years, more and more people are becoming aware of the special benefits of merino.
Merino fabric is super light and breathable, and it adapts to your body temperature, making sure you are comfortable in all seasons.

Unlike synthetic materials, it decomposes over time with no environmental impact.

This is particularly beneficial in preventing the development of unpleasant smells, even with prolonged wear and reduce the need for frequent washing, conserving precious water resources (and your energy bill).

Animal Welfare
Committed to ethical sourcing, we proudly support the SustainaWool initiative, ensuring our Merino wool is Mulesing-free, an approach to Merino wool production, ensuring the well-being of sheep by abstaining from the practice of mulesing, and sourced with a deep commitment to animal welfare.
No waste production
"Fully fashioned" refers to a method of garment construction where each piece is individually shaped and knit to its final form. This technique contrasts with cut-and-sew methods where fabric is cut from larger pieces and then sewn together. This means there is minimal waste during our production.
Durability
Pure fine Merino wool stands out for its exceptional durability. The natural elasticity of Merino wool fibers ensure garments maintain their shape and withstand repeated stretching without compromising on strength. Proper care further enhances its longevity, making pure fine Merino wool a premium choice for those seeking both comfort and enduring quality in their garments.
