We're taking our first little steps, so thank you for bearing with us. All orders ship this Friday.

For hands that want to touch everything: frosty leaves, mossy stones, the dog’s ears. These keep the adventure going a little longer.
Made for every winter, as a pair if you’re lucky (it’s always the left one that goes missing).

Breathable merino – warm hands, never clammy
Ultra-gentle against delicate skin – our own super-soft Italian merino yarn that we spent two years developing
Crafted like the luxury knitwear in your own wardrobe – made in Portugal, with hand-finished seams, soft yet secure enough for sibling after sibling
Pairs with our merino gilet and beanie

A pure white, Dove is as soft as a feather from a dove’s wing, drifting down onto the lawn.

Warm little hands that are still free to explore.

The world's softest wool: Italian merino, light and breathable
Never clammy: keeps hands warm on cold walks without overheating
Made to match: coordinates with our merino gilet and beanie
Check regularly: for loose threads, which can wrap around tiny fingers

We spent two years developing our own merino with a specialist Italian mill, to create the world's softest wool.

Two years in the making: developed and refined with our mill until the softness and strength were just right
Fine fibres: gentle against the most delicate skin
Naturally temperature-regulating: holds warmth in the cold, lets heat escape as things warm up
Breathable: comfortable all day, without overheating
Lined in 100% cotton: a soft, breathable layer next to the skin

Made in Portugal by a third-generation, family-run babywear maker, trusted by premium and luxury brands for nearly 40 years.

Every step under one roof: a fully vertical mill, from yarn and fabric to the finished piece, so nothing leaves their care
Made to the strictest baby standard: every baby piece they make meets OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, Class I, the toughest level, set for babies
Independently audited: ISO 9001 for quality, ISO 14001 for environmental care, and BSCI and Sedex for fair, safe working conditions
European craftsmanship: made to European standards, for the people who make it and the planet

Merino looks after itself more than you'd think: wash less, air more.

Finding the right size: see the size guide, and if they're between sizes, size up
Air between wears: hang it in fresh air and it comes back feeling fresh, so it rarely needs a full wash
When it does: wash at 30°C, inside out, with a gentle liquid wool detergent. No softener, no bleach
Drying: reshape while damp and let it dry naturally, away from radiators. Never tumble dry
A little bobbling is natural: it's common in the first few wears, and a wool comb lifts it away
Before sleep: take merino layers off indoors and before sleep, so they don't overheat
Keep away from fire

The details

Little hands want to touch everything: frosty leaves, mossy stones, the dog's ears. Our soft Italian merino mittens, made in Portugal, keep them warm while they explore (though we can't promise the left one won't go missing).

Our Italian Merino

Knitted from the same Italian merino as our gilet and beanie, developed over two years with a specialist Italian mill. The world’s softest wool, light enough that little hands stay warm without turning clammy.
