WHY MERINO?

Not all wool is created equal. Our premium, superfine Merino wool has been specifically developed to stand up to the rigors of travel and everyday life. It’s an entirely natural, renewable and biodegradable fabric that will revolutionize the way you dress. 

Our Merino wool clothing is incredibly soft, lightweight and breathable. It’s also moisture-wicking, antibacterial and temperature regulating, as well as odor and wrinkle-resistant. This makes for clothing that keeps you super comfortable at all times, and can be worn for weeks without needing a wash.
