Australian Merino is the perfect travel companion - Comfortable, Versatile & Stylish... Naturally!
Leesa Watego recently travelled to Europe and says “ Not everywhere has elevators and lifts and carting a large suitcase up old marble steps is not something I’m keen to do. I needed a capsule wardrobe that could take me from casual to formal and still be comfortable but stylish without the bulk. Merino is perfect."
Plastic-free Swimwear? Yep - our 100% Australian Merino is great for swimwear and is plastic free... Naturally!

The Woolmark Company has released a new campaign called Wear Wool, Not Fossil Fuel. This campaign highlights that every 25 minutes an Olympic sized pool of oil is used to make synthetic clothing! Merino wool on the other hand is natural, 100% biodegradable, and renewable.
The one minute video shows people struggling to get out of a pool of black sticky oil and struggling to breathe. Once they get out of the pool of oil they take off the oil and are transformed into clean and fresh versions of themselves wearing wool!
In our factory we usually dress for the hard work that goes on behind the seams and also wear the products we make. As recognition of the dedication of everyone's contribution in making your fabulous Merino Clothing & Underwear, the Merino Country team had an evening out at the Styling Station being pampered and styled professionally for an occasion of their choice.
Meet the Merino Country team! When you interact with us it's often over the phone, on-line or in our showroom and there's not the opportunity to get to know the people who actually hand sew your Australian Merino Gear.
Let's head behind the seams, or in this case, the industrial overlocking machine, to meet one of our talented makers, the fantastic Faye!
