Alpina™ | Merino Wool Shawl — Final Edit

The ultimate travel companion and winter essential. The Alpina is crafted from high-grade Merino wool, designed to provide serious warmth without the weight or the "itch" of traditional wool scarves.

What Makes It Work

• 100% Merino Wool: Pure Merino was selected for its natural temperature-regulating properties. It keeps you toasted when it’s freezing but breathes when you’re indoors, so you won’t overheat.

• Silky, Non-Itch Texture: Forget everything you know about scratchy wool. These fibres are ultra-fine, making the shawl feel smooth against your neck—perfect for sensitive skin.

• Generous Oversized Cut: This is a proper shawl, not just a skinny scarf. You can wrap it twice for maximum warmth or drape it over your shoulders as a sophisticated cape for dinner.

• Natural Odour Resistance: One of the best things about Merino is that it stays fresh for longer. You won't need to wash it after every wear, which is a win for both you and the environment.

• Crease-Resistant: It’s the perfect "throw in your bag" layer. Even after being stuffed in a tote or carry-on, it shakes out looking crisp and ready to wear.

The Details

• Material: 100% Premium Merino Wool

• Weight: 220g (Ultra-lightweight but high-warmth)

• Dimensions: 200cm x 70cm (Oversized drape)

• Finish: Subtle raw-edge fringe for a modern look

Colour Descriptions

• Onyx Black: The timeless essential that adds a sharp, polished finish to any winter coat.

• Stone Grey: A clean, cool-toned neutral that pairs easily with almost anything.

• Caramel: A rich, warm tan that looks incredibly expensive against a navy or cream outfit.

• Forest Green: A deep, earthy green inspired by the Australian bush—no-fuss and easy to wear.

• Wine: A sophisticated berry red that adds a beautiful pop of colour to a neutral palette.

Perfect For

• Long-haul flights when the cabin air is freezing but you want to travel light.

• cool morning commutes where you need a layer that blocks the wind but tucks easily into a bag.

• Evening events as a chic alternative to a heavy jacket over a dress.

• Gifting—you truly can’t go wrong with high-quality Merino.

Care Instructions

• Hand wash only in cool water using a wool-specific detergent.

• Do not wring or twist; gently squeeze out excess water and dry flat in the shade.

• Avoid the tumble dryer at all costs—high heat will shrink Merino instantly.

• Store folded; hanging can cause the fine knit to stretch over time.

Eleanor’s Note

"Alpina is the layer I would keep close for travel, cool restaurants and evenings outside. I chose it because it adds warmth without covering the entire outfit underneath. As part of our Winter Sale, the shawls now available are the last Alpina pieces from our current edit." — Eleanor
