Ethical & Sustainable Production

 AUSTRALIAN OWNED, GROWN & MADE - SUSTAINABLE &  ETHICAL

We are an Australian family owned business and have made a conscious decision to keep our production and manufacturing in Australia to support local jobs and industry and to have better control over our quality. It might cost a bit more to produce our Merino wool clothing and underwear here but we know that we are giving you the best possible product that we can and providing jobs for our local community. 

Zero Waste - being farmers we make the most out of all that we do with our fabric offcuts being shredded and used in locally made mattresses, all thread cones and fabric cores go to local schools, kindergartens and craft groups.  We print our own packaging on recycled card as we need it and pack your orders in a recycled tissue paper and use compostable mailers made from corn starch to send out your parcels.

Natural Wool Underwear and clothing that is good for you, our animals and the environment... Naturally!

FROM THE SHEEP TO YOU

Merino Country works closely with Australian Wool Producers and processors and have control over the raw wool, yarn types, fabric construction, colours, design and manufacturing. Our Merino comes from non-mulesed sheep and as we know which farms our wool comes from, we have a certificate of mulesing status from AWEX (Australian Wool Exchange) AWEX certificate reference number 2403202.

We are proud that our Merino wool is Australian Grown  - the best in the world; our fabrics are knitted and dyed in Australia and all our garments are made in-house in our own factory in Brisbane - you are welcome to come and visit us and meet our team who make your garment.
