Merinomink & Untouched World Clothing UK

A Brief History Of Merinomink Clothing

We’re always looking for brands that fit with our ambitions to provide high quality, everyday wearable items that really add to your wardrobe, with Merinomink from Untouched World fitting this exact criteria perfectly. 

Merinomink clothing is made in New Zealand with an exclusive blend of fine merino wool, luxurious Brushtail possum fibre and Mulberry silk. Sometimes this classic women’s knitwear also features a little angora to achieve lighter and brighter colours for their garments. Famed for its exceptional performance, this beautiful blend is light as a feather yet very long-lasting, with this being a staple of the brand since it was founded back in 1996.

Merinomink Clothing Product Qualities

There are a whole bunch of qualities which Merinomink is specifically known for, making them such an established classic women’s clothing brand. These products provide warmth without adding any excessive weight, with the use of their stunning yarn combination creating exceptionally warm garments with featherweight softness.

Brushtail possum fibre has a hollow structure without any scales, with this allowing your Merinomink knitwear to stay looking new, resisting any rubbing or pilling. In addition to this, the materials used are also anti-microbial and odour resistant, meaning any of your Merinomink clothing pieces only need washing every few wears. 

Merinomink is also extremely long lasting, keeping its shape wear after wear. On top of this, the blend used in their classic women’s jumpers and other knitwear pieces is a naturally active fibre that reacts to changes in body temperature. Unlike most other synthetics, Merinomink knitwear can cool you down when you’re warm, and warm you up when you’re feeling cold.

Natural elasticity helps all Merinomink garments stretch and move with your body, making them super comfortable to wear. Additionally, thanks to its natural UV resistance, this brand’s blend not only protects your skin from the sun, but is naturally fire retardant and safe around a naked flame or intense heat.

Tying back into its long lasting nature, each merino wool fibre we use in our Merinomink knitwear blend is like a coiled spring that returns to its natural shape after being bent. This goes down to a microscopic level, giving garments a natural resistance to wrinkles as a whole.

Merinomink Clothing Sustainability

Thanks to its being sustainably sourced, the merino used in Merinomink knitwear is ZQ certified ensuring it is of premium quality and social, environmental and animal welfare standards are adhered to. 

Should any Merinomink garments be disposed of, they will also naturally  decompose in soil in a matter of years, slowly releasing valuable nutrients back into the Earth. This commitment to overall sustainability is why we here at Sarah Thomson love this brand so much!

History Of Untouched World Women's Clothing

Originally a family business, Untouched World began life making classic women’s knitwear back in 1995. It’s something they’re truly passionate about, using age-old hand-finishing techniques alongside cutting edge technology to create luxurious, enduring knitwear. They’re workrooms are right onsite at their New Zealand Head Office, and enjoy the privilege of mingling with their makers, many of whom have been with them so long it feels like one big happy family.

The New Zealand based brand set out from the get-go to cause disruption in an industry that is sadly very broken. Untouched World made it their priority to reject fast fashion destined for the dump, and pave the way for a regenerative approach to classic women’s clothing.

Untouched World Women's Clothing Products

Untouched World women's clothing is designed to travel, work, and play without compromising on comfort or style, thoughtfully designed with pared back silhouettes that remain relevant season after season. Using beautiful natural fibres and earth inspired hues, they create collections that connect you with nature, and elevate your everyday look with ease and effortless, eco-friendly style.

When it comes to the whole philosophy of Untouched World, this can be summarised in a symbol representing a Māori Kite, the emblem of an ideal relationship between people and nature. It is the outcome of an art involving natural materials and human skills; it links the earth to the sky, and symbolises a soaring freedom of the spirit.

Untouched World is a truly timeless brand designing clothes that can be worn all year-round for much longer than just one season. Our curated collection at Sarah Thomson consists of the Pip Sweater, the Stitch Sweater and the more contemporary Cubic Sweater. We love to style these classic women’s jumpers with a pair of equally classic women’s jeans or some corduroy trousers from Brax. In winter and in summer, these Untouched World merino knitwear pieces look lovely worn over linen trousers, shorts or a maxi skirt too!

Untouched World Women's Clothing Sustainability

Being sustainable means cultivating a community that cares for each other and the deeper world around us. It means giving back where we can, connecting with each other, and helping our youth find the belief in themselves that they need to flourish. It’s considering every decision we make, consciously designing with intention, and choosing renewable, natural fabrics and fibres that are easy on the earth, and unsurprisingly, all of these aspects apply directly to Untouched World and all their knitwear products.
