The Italian brand's new merino wool collection has the building blocks you need to upgrade your style this season
Artknit Studios is a brand that goes against the grain. There’s a standardised way of making and selling clothes in the modern world. Produce in bulk; wait for the orders to come in; ship the products out; profit? Unfortunately, this approach, more often than not, leads to subpar quality and waste.
Artknit does things differently.
The Italian brand works with local makers, producing at a slower pace and focusing on quality. Everything is sold directly to the customer, so there are no retail markups. Above all else, the supply chain is completely transparent, so you can see who made your garment, where they did it and even the source of the raw materials.
This season, Artknit Studios introduces a fresh selection of Merino wool pieces. Available online and in flagship stores in Rome and Milan, the new collection showcases this dedication to quality, sustainability, and timeless design. With a focus on responsibly sourced Merino wool from Australia and New Zealand, Artknit continues to deliver essentials that blend luxury with everyday functionality.
Fine Wool Elements: The foundation of a versatile wardrobe
The collection's campaign, "Fine Wool Elements," highlights the versatility of Merino wool. This natural fiber is celebrated for its lightweight feel and exceptional properties, including thermoregulation, breathability, and softness. These qualities make it the ideal choice for crafting pieces that transition seamlessly from fall to winter and beyond. From knits to jackets and overshirts, each design embodies the brand's ethos of essentiality and attention to detail.
Artknit Studios: A new palette and expanded styles
Artknit enriches its core collection with new styles and an expanded colour palette. Neutral tones remain central, but new shades like Dust Green and classic hues such as Ebony and White add depth to the lineup. This season's range includes jackets, polos, and overshirts, all crafted from RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) certified Merino wool. This certification ensures high standards of animal welfare and environmental compliance, reflecting Artknit's commitment to ethical production.
The Active Wool T-Shirt: Innovation in natural fibres
A standout addition to this collection is the Active Wool T-shirt. Designed for maximum comfort and versatility, it marks a significant step forward in natural fibre innovation. Made from Merino ZQ certified wool, this T-shirt showcases an elastic jersey fabric that retains its shape without the use of elastane. Its fibres, measuring a mere 17.5 microns in thickness, offer unparalleled softness and breathability. Ideal for leisure or more active pursuits, this piece is a testament to the brand’s pursuit of high-performance natural materials.
Ultrasoft Wool: Seasonless luxury
Artknit's Ultrasoft Wool introduces the brand's lightest and finest material, perfect for seasonless designs with a refined touch. Using fully traceable, mulesing-free Australian wool, this semi-worsted yarn comes in both single-ply and double-ply options. The result is an ultra-lightweight fabric that offers cashmere-like softness. Highlights of this material include a new ribbed texture in the men's collection and an expanded women's line with crewneck cardigans and polos. One of the most versatile pieces is the ribbed bodysuit, which can be styled for both leisure and more elegant occasions, proving the fabric's extraordinary comfort and performance.
Extrafine Merino Wool: Timeless quality
Artknit’s Extrafine Merino Wool range remains a favourite for its exceptional quality and softness. This worsted yarn, made from the longest and finest fibres, is sourced from Australia and processed at the renowned Tollegno 1900 spinning mill. The result is a series of pieces that range in weight and fit, offering something for every wardrobe. New additions this season include a refined jacket and utility-inspired full-zip cardigan for women, along with a modern polo and knit sweatpants for men. Each piece embodies a contemporary take on classic silhouettes, maintaining the brand's dedication to timeless style.
Artknit Studios' commitment to transparency and sustainability
Artknit Studios prioritises transparency, providing detailed information about the origin of its materials and the manufacturing process for every piece. This commitment to openness is part of the brand's dedication to quality and sustainability. With each item crafted in Italy, Artknit Studios ensures that its creations not only look and feel luxurious but also align with responsible production standards.
The new Merino wool collection by Artknit Studios is now available online and in their flagship stores, offering a sophisticated yet functional approach to the modern wardrobe.
