The Loden Wool

CAPSULE COLLECTION

For years, linen has been our answer to warm weather - a fabric that moves with you, softens with wear and never asks you to dress up or down for it. This season, we're bringing that same philosophy somewhere new: into the cold.

Our first transitional pieces are cut from merino wool spun and felted in Austria. The felting process that gives this fabric called ‘loden’ its density is what makes it windproof and warm without ever feeling stiff or heavy. Worn close, it works the way linen does: regulating your temperature instead of fighting it.

This is a limited capsule collection, made to be worn the way you already wear us - with ease, for years, in more than one season.

A note from Lea

Loden isn't a fabric we picked for novelty. It's the fabric we kept coming back to when we asked ourselves what a cold-weather arkitaip piece should feel like - and the answer was: the same as a warm-weather one. Unfussy, well-made, made to last. I hope you feel that the moment you put it on. It's also, quietly, personal. Loden comes from Austria - my home - where it's been woven and fulled for centuries to stand up to mountain weather without ever trying too hard about it. That's the same instinct behind everything we make. I hope you feel that the moment you put it on.
