Tactile Cashmere

Soft against the skin, yet warm and lightweight, cashmere is renowned as a luxury fibre. We embrace cashmere in our winter knitwear range for its timeless appeal, creating pieces that will last for years to come. In 2022, we became the first Australian fashion retailer to partner with The Good Cashmere Standard® by the Aid by Trade Foundation. The standard ensures the welfare of cashmere goats, protects natural resources and supports the local farmers that produce it.

A design icon, our Verified Australian Cotton Heritage Sweat is proudly made using cotton sourced from Australian farms. In partnership with Oritain, we can scientifically trace our Verified fibres to the land on which they were grown.

Verified Australian Merino Wool

Known around the world for its quality, Australian Merino wool is fine and gentle against the skin, with natural thermo-regulating properties for year-long comfort. For our Winter 24 collection, we've sourced wool from six farms in Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania. Since 2017, we've partnered with Oritain to scientifically trace our Verified Merino wool fibres back to Australian farms. These farms are certified by the Responsible Wool Standard, a globally recognised standard that promotes animal welfare and farming best practice.
