Wolfgang Scout
Made from super-soft Australian Merino wool, each of Wolfgang Scout’s pieces is made by hand by an artisan in India in a process that is sustainable from start to finish. Taking over 40 hours per jumper to craft, the final result is the perfect have-for-life piece that goes with virtually anything.

Lady Kate
Lady Kate founder Penny Ashby, a fourth-generation woolgrower, grew up surrounded by luxurious merino wool—taking that knowledge into her label, with every piece being made from natural, renewable merino wool grown locally.
