embracing natural fabrics this winter

Want to prolong the life of your cashmere + merino?

Wool and cashmere love the fresh air. Between each wear, hang them on a hanger and give them a little time outside. When it comes to washing, we use and recommend Australia’s very own Bosisto’s Wool & Delicate wash. It performs beautifully, is gentle on sensitive skin and contains Eucalyptus essential oil which has antibacterial properties. Recently, we have taken to adding a drop of Lavender and a drop of Cedarwood essential oil to each wash, to further protect our garments. For a comprehensive washing guide, revisit our ‘Caring for your Cashmere’ 

What are natural fabrics?

• Linen – the oldest fabric known. Derived from the flax plant. Resists sunlight, washable, taut and non-allergenic

• Cotton – the most versatile fabric. Breathable, durable and easy to care for. Also soft and hypoallergenic
• Silk – a protein-based fibre spun by the silkworm. It is strong, drapes well, breathable, hypoallergenic and has a beautiful natural lustre
• Cashmere – a fibre obtained from cashmere goats and other types of goats. Luxurious, soft, silky, smooth and very warm
• Wool – a protein-based fibre that can be blended with man-made fibres. It is durable, warm, flexible and dyes well

• Leather – animal-based product. High tensile strength, resistant to tear, strong, durable, smooth
