This blend brings merino and cotton together—merino to manage temperature, cotton for a soft, familiar handle. Breathable and gentle on the skin, it suits sleepwear and relaxed days at home.

Essence specialises in comfortable everyday essentials designed to be worn close to the skin. From ultrafine merino thermals to soft sleepwear and layering pieces, the collection focuses on comfort, practicality and easy wearability. Thoughtfully designed for everyday living, Essence garments provide lightweight comfort through every season.

Merino cotton blends fine merino wool with soft cotton to create a fabric that is gentle against the skin and comfortable to wear every day.

Merino helps regulate temperature and manage moisture, while cotton adds a smooth, familiar feel. Together they make a breathable fabric well suited to layering and sleepwear.

Gentle care will help the fabric keep its softness and shape.

Please refer to the care label attached to your garment.

• Machine wash cold on a gentle or wool cycle, or hand wash.
• Use a mild wool-friendly detergent. Don't use bleach or fabric softener.
• Wash with similar colours, and turn the garment inside out to reduce pilling.
• Don't wring. Gently squeeze out excess water or roll in a towel.
• Reshape and dry flat in the shade, away from direct heat and sunlight.
• Don't tumble dry.
• Cool iron if needed, ideally with a pressing cloth.
• Store folded rather than hung, so it keeps its shape.
