Materials.

Everything starts with the yarn. We work with a small number of natural fibres and stay with them, season after season, because they wear well, age well and feel right against the skin.

Yarn decides almost everything that happens later: how a piece feels on the first day, whether it pills, whether it keeps its shape, how warm it is for its weight. Finer, longer fibres cost more and behave better, so that is where the money goes.

Each one is chosen for its own reasons — where it comes from, how it is certified, and what it gives the finished piece.

Merino wool.

Clean, sleek and silky smooth.

Merino fibres are finer and smoother than regular wool, which is why the knit is gentle against the skin, even for people who find wool itchy. It is naturally breathable and resilient: it holds its shape after repeated wear, and it is easy to live with.

Worn, it regulates: warm when the day is cold, never clammy when you come indoors or sit in a heated train. Wool also resists odour, so a piece can be worn several times between washes and aired rather than laundered. Less washing means it lasts longer and asks less of you.

We source RWS certified merino wool from Australia, guaranteeing ethical practices and sustainable production.

Wool cashmere.

The crème de la crème of wools.

Cashmere comes from the undercoat of cashmere goats: soft, light and warm out of proportion to its weight, with a gentle halo and a plush hand. It breathes as wool does, wicking moisture away so you stay comfortable rather than overheating.

Blended with wool it gains structure. Pure cashmere is beautiful and can go soft-bodied over time; the wool gives the knit backbone, so the shoulders stay square, the ribs keep their spring and the piece survives real wear. You get the softness of cashmere in something you can put on every week, not only on careful days.

Cotton cashmere.

The in-between season piece.

Cotton brings coolness and a matte, even surface; cashmere brings softness and a gentle halo. Together they make a lighter knit with the comfort of cashmere and the easy wear of cotton.

This is what you reach for when it is not cold enough for wool: spring and early autumn, warm offices, travel, layering under a jacket without bulk. It sits close without clinging, it doesn’t feel warm indoors, and it takes everyday wear without asking for special treatment.

Silk.

Fluid, cool and quietly luminous.

Silk moves differently. It drapes close to the body, stays cool against the skin and catches the light softly rather than shining. We use it where a piece should feel weightless.

Worn, it is the lightest thing in the wardrobe and the easiest to dress up: it slips under a coat or a blazer without adding a millimetre, it keeps its cool in a warm room, and it lends a plain outfit a quiet sheen. It asks for gentler washing than wool, and repays it.
