We have tried to represent all colours printed in this catalogue as accurately as possible but some may still differ from the final product.
Welcome to our Winter 2025 Look Book. We are proud to continue manufacturing all our garments right here in New Zealand, bringing you luxurious, high-quality knitwear that stands the test of time. This season, we’ve drawn inspiration from Italian fashion, think elegant draping, effortless layering, and timeless silhouettes.
Our new collection introduces stunning styles, including the Tuscan Crew, featuring wide rib bands in an oversized fit, and the Noto Wrap, a standout piece in a class of its own. You can look fashionably snug this winter with our oversized Leisure Poncho or the chic Funnel Neck Swing Top.
It’s all about vests and gilets this season, and we have a fantastic range in both merino and possum blends. Whether you prefer an oversized silhouette for a relaxed cozy feel or a more classic fit, we have something for you. Our signature Wool Company merino possum blend is a joy to wear across seasons.
As more of you are shopping online, we’re offering exclusive styles on our website beyond what’s featured in this book. We hope you love our new collection as much as we do. If you need help choosing the perfect style or colour, or if websites aren’t your thing give us a call. We’d love to assist you.
Warmest wishes from Margot and The Wool Company team
Sustainability
The Merino Wool used in The Wool Company’s Merino lightweights and lingerie is grown in Marlborough. We are privileged to work with several growers who are passionate about producing the very best quality merino wool, by ensuring the sheep are well cared for using sustainable and ecologically sound farming practices. This enables us to produce the very best quality merino fabric to make our popular tops and tees.
Buy New Zealand Made
Our garments tick all the boxes for sustainability, they have long lifespans, as they are used or worn longer than other textile fibre products. The natural fibres used in our garments are fully biodegradable and break down quickly, returning their nutrients to the soil without releasing plastic microfibres into the environment during washing or recycling.
