MERINO WOOL: THE TIMELESS ELEGANCE OF NATURE'S LUXURY

RWS wool Harper Lavoir
When it comes to luxurious comfort, few materials can rival the timeless elegance of merino wool. In this article, we'll delve into the exceptional benefits of merino wool and why it's a staple in our collection.

Unparalleled Softness

Merino wool is renowned for its exquisite softness. Each fibre is incredibly fine and lightweight, making it exceptionally gentle against the skin and an ideal option for first layer clothing.

Natural Insulation

One of the most remarkable features of merino wool is its natural insulation properties. It provides exceptional warmth in cold weather while remaining breathable, ensuring you stay comfortable without overheating. This thermoregulation is perfect for investment pieces, allowing you to feel comfortable and stylish in any season.

Moisture Management

Merino wool has the remarkable ability to wick moisture away from your skin, keeping you dry and fresh. Whether you're wearing it during an active outdoor adventure or a formal evening event, you'll appreciate how merino wool keeps you feeling comfortable and confident.

Crease Resistant

Merino wool fiber is like a spring that returns to its natural shape after being stretched or bent. This gives Merino wool garments a natural resistance to creasing.

Odour Resistance

Another fantastic quality of merino wool is its natural odour resistance. It inhibits the growth of odour-causing bacteria, ensuring that your Harper Lavoir garments stay fresh even after extended wear. This feature is particularly valuable, as it means you can enjoy your pieces for longer periods without the need for frequent washing.

Durability

Merino wool may be soft and delicate to the touch, but it's surprisingly durable. The long, fine fibres are 6x stronger than cotton, making it the perfect fibre for luxury, forever pieces ensuring longevity and enduring style.

Sustainable and Renewable

Sustainability is a core value at Harper Lavoir. Merino wool aligns perfectly with this commitment. The wool is sourced from Merino sheep from RWS certified farms, known for their minimal impact on the environment. These sheep graze on natural pastures, and their wool is a renewable resource, making merino wool one of the most sustainable and eco-friendly materials in the fashion industry.

Natural Fibre

Merino Wool is 100% Natural, renewable & biodegradable. No other fibre, natural or man-made, can match all of wool’s naturally inherent benefits. At the end of life, wool can be composted and biodegraded  and thus can fully revert back to nature. 

No Micro Plastics

Wool is 100% biodegradable so does not contribute to microplastic pollution in our oceans or on our land.

Less Energy

Wool uses 18% less energy than polyester and nearly 70% less water than cotton to produce 100 sweaters.

Versatile Style

Merino wool seamlessly blends luxury and versatility. Whether you're dressing up for a special occasion or opting for a casual, chic look, our merino wool garments effortlessly adapt to your style. 

 
At Harper Lavoir, we're passionate about bringing you sustainable and ethically crafted luxury womenswear that transcends seasons and trends. Our merino wool pieces embody this philosophy, combining the natural beauty of merino wool with the artistry of craftsmanship.
