Children's skin is more sensitive than adult skin. It reacts more easily to synthetic fibres, rough textures and chemical finishes. The kids knitwear in this collection starts from that premise: fibres selected for gentleness, constructed without seams that press or irritate, made only when ordered.
The baby jumper range includes two pieces built for the earliest stage of wearing. The ZQ Merino and Bactrian Camel Baby Jumper blends ZQ Fine merino with Inner Mongolian Bactrian camel hair, a naturally hollow fibre that regulates temperature without adding weight. The Pure Bactrian Camel Baby Jumper uses 100% Inner Mongolian Bactrian camel hair, one of the rarest fibres in the collection, worn directly against skin in its purest single-fibre form.
The toddler and junior range uses 65% ZQ Fine merino, 25% brushtail possum down and 10% mulberry silk. Possum down is one of the lightest natural fibres available, and the silk component reduces friction against skin during movement. The result is a kids jumper that is genuinely warm without bulk, and soft enough that children will not resist wearing it.
The Cashmere, Possum and Silk Teen Hoodie brings 40% Inner Mongolian cashmere, 40% brushtail possum down and 20% mulberry silk into a boys hoodie format built to the same fibre standard as the adult collection. WholeGarment 3D knitting means no seams at the shoulder or underarm. The hood is knitted as one continuous piece.
Every garment is made to order. Nothing is held in inventory.
