Why and how to choose organic

At Roots & Wings, we take the word "organic" very seriously. Our merino is sourced from certified organic New Zealand farms where the merino sheep roam free, doing what sheep do, thinking sheepy thoughts and enjoying their life in paradise.

Once a year, they are happy to have their heavy fleeces shorn. And every year, they grow it back again - luckily for all of us.

What this means to you, is a more pure and better looking garment. Less dye is needed for the naturally white fibres to take in colour and less pilling as the fibres are long and strong.

Unfortunately, not all organic clothing is created equal, and standards vary around the world. 

In our latest blog, we tell you more about what to look out for when buying organic, the telltale signs of faux organic products and how you can make the right choices when shopping for organic and sustainable clothes for you or your kids.
