Our Materials
Materials are a part of the DNA of our brand, so we take great care in picking the best fabrics for you. Let us introduce you to the materials we use the most, their properties and how to care for them.
As each piece of clothing is different, please always remember to follow the care instructions attached to your garment.
Wool & other animal hair
Wool is in many ways a great material. It has perfect thermoregulation, does not take on odours and is water repellent and elastic. However, it can easily shrink and sometimes can be irritating to the skin.
Common in high-quality knitwear, suits, office wear and performance wear.
