The 7 icebreaker design principles.
Our products embrace nature and its genius solutions. Discover how we lead and innovate with what nature provides through our design principles.
Our natural fabrics.
TENCEL™ Lyocell
We source TENCEL™Lyocell, which transforms natural wood into cellulosic fibers using a closed-loop process. This material is exceptionally gentle on your skin – experience it first-hand blended with merino wool in our Cool-Lite™ innovation. Learn more at tencel.com.
Linen
Our T-shirt range is enhanced by blending merino and linen, combining the qualities of two amazing natural fibers. Flax plants provide the source for linen, a natural fiber. We grow our high-quality linen in its natural habitat – Belgium. When we blend it with merino, the flax fibers complement the wool's natural moisture absorption before it feels wet.

Cotton
Another amazing natural fiber combination is merino wool and cotton. This blend is soft and breathable, making it ideal for everyday wear. As we continue to move away from synthetic fibers, we’ll increase our cotton use. In most instances, we use organically grown cotton.
