About Merino

Merino is much finer than traditional wool making it soft and smooth against your skin. It works naturally with your body to regulate moisture and temperature to provide optimum comfort in all conditions. The longer, more even fibres of Merino result in a durable, smooth fabric that is resistant to pilling. The natural elasticity of Merino means that wrinkles will drop out easily, especially in a moist environment like a shower room (garments made from Merino require little, if any, ironing). Natural properties of Merino wool make it odour resistant.

Untouched World™ Merino is Zque™ certified, ensuring all Merino in Untouched World garments is grown to rigid animal welfare, environmental, social and economic standards. Most importantly, we have spent years painstakingly developing a closely guarded Merino fibre specification that ensures Untouched World Merino is the best in the world.

Untouched World™ is the first and only lifestyle fashion company in the world to be recognised by the United Nations for sustainability.

Untouched World™ looks at every aspect of business with sustainability in mind. That means considering the total life impact of what is produced, from the sustainably grown fibres used, to the GOTS certified organic dyes and water based prints, right through to how their team disposes of banana skins after lunch! They look at the total product life cycle and work hard to minimise water use and maximise recycling and waste recovery.

A percentage of every Untouched World™ purchase goes directly to the Untouched World™ Foundation (UWF). Set up in 2000, the Foundation delivers ground-breaking programmes for students across New Zealand focused on leadership toward a sustainable future. Engaging and inspiring, the programmes awaken the students’ awareness of how their actions affect the environment. They come away enriched with new knowledge and a renewed value system that they can then share within their community. Untouched World™ is proud to play a role in shaping young leaders who will go on to have a global impact.

Untouched World™ believes that every one person can make a difference... and you don’t need to give up style and luxury to do it!
