When it comes to versatile, functional clothing, Merino wool base layers stand out as a clear winner. Lightweight yet insulating, soft yet durable, these wardrobe staples are designed to perform in every season. Whether you're braving cold winter mornings or looking for breathable comfort on a cool summer evening, Merino wool delivers unmatched benefits that make it the perfect foundation for any outfit.

Mindful shopping isn’t about saying no to great deals; it’s about saying yes to the ones that matter.

A buzzword or a lasting movement? Sustainability has taken over the fashion world, with major brands proclaiming their commitment to the cause. However, the rise of greenwashing—false or exaggerated claims about sustainability—has left many consumers questioning what’s real and what’s marketing fluff. So, where does your wardrobe sit on the sustainability spectrum?

One of the biggest misconceptions we’re tackling here at INTACT is that Merino wool is the same itchy, scratchy fibre you remember from your Nanna’s old hand-me-downs. You know, those dense, oversized woollen jumpers that could make even the most resilient among us cringe?

But we're here to tell you, Merino wool has a whole new game.

When done right, Merino wool isn’t just comfortable—it’s one of the most luxurious and gentle natural fibres (both on you and the planet) that you can add to your wardrobe.

And the INTACT capsule range of Australian merino wool clothing is all the proof that you need.

A phrase you’ve most likely heard thrown around, but what is slow fashion, and why should you care? Let us explain the benefits of joining the slow fashion movement and how you can support a better fashion future.

When it comes to Merino wool clothing, the perks are aplenty. Not only are they naturally stain and odour-resistant, allowing you to wear more and wash less, sometimes getting up to 20 wears before they need a bit of a TLC, when this happens, hand washing is a simple, easy, and time efficient way to care for your Merino wool clothes.

When it comes to maintaining the quality and longevity of our favourite merino wool clothing, proper storage is key. In order for our knitwear to last, we need to give them proper love and attention to protect them and ensure we can continue to wear them for many seasons to come.
