All Stitched Up

The days are getting cooler, which means it’s time to start stocking up on those winter woollies – and if you like a bit of luxury in your layers, look no further than New Zealand brand Untouched World. This globally respected knitwear label has struck the perfect balance of sustainability and style – their chic, classic range of men’s and women’s clothing is made using merino, eco-possum, cashmere, organic cotton, linen and bamboo, and the company assesses factors such as energy use, water use and chemical footprint for every garment it produces.

Their efforts have even won the attention of the United Nations – Untouched World is the first and only company in the world to be recognised by UNESCO for their sustainability practices. You can find out more by reading our special feature on Untouched World in the current issue of Peppermint, which is available from all good newsagencies and our Etsy store. In the meantime, stave off winter’s chill and check out the full Untouched World online!
