The ultimate travel companion and winter essential. The Alpina is crafted from high-grade Merino wool, designed to provide serious warmth without the weight or the "itch" of traditional wool scarves.

What Makes It Work

• 100% Merino Wool: We’ve used pure Merino for its natural temperature-regulating properties. It keeps you toasted when it’s freezing but breathes when you’re indoors, so you won’t overheat.

• Silky, Non-Itch Texture: Forget everything you know about scratchy wool. These fibers are ultra-fine, making the shawl feel smooth against your neck—perfect for sensitive skin.

• Generous Oversized Cut: This is a proper shawl, not just a skinny scarf. You can wrap it twice for maximum warmth or drape it over your shoulders as a sophisticated cape for dinner.

• Natural Odour Resistance: One of the best things about Merino is that it stays fresh for longer. You won't need to wash it after every wear, which is a win for both you and the environment.

• Crease-Resistant: It’s the perfect "throw in your bag" layer. Even after being stuffed in a tote or carry-on, it shakes out looking crisp and ready to wear.

Perfect For

Care Instructions

• Hand wash only in cool water using a wool-specific detergent.

• Do not wring or twist; gently squeeze out excess water and dry flat in the shade.

• Avoid the tumble dryer at all costs—high heat will shrink Merino instantly.

• Store folded; hanging can cause the fine knit to stretch over time.
