Made in New Zealand

Cervelt™ is an extremely rare natural down fibre from the New Zealand Red Deer. Its amazing thermal and moisture wicking properties were unknown until the New Zealand company, Douglas Creek Ltd, spent eight years developing and perfecting the process of turning this fine winter coat into a luxury textile fibre. Only 20 grams of pure Cervelt™ can be collected from a single deer and with current world production being maintained at a limited amount each year, it justifies its description as the "Diamond of luxury fibres”.

Cervelt™ is a 13 micron fibre which is finer than the finest cashmere. The fibre is light and naturally elastic resulting in products that are resistant to creases and provide many years of regular use.

Fabrics produced from Cervelt™ are lighter and softer than cashmere and have a very clean appearance. The fabric has the natural ability to quickly absorb and release moisture from the wearer’s body, producing a high level of comfort in both hot and cold weather.

100% Cervelt

Firstly - does it need washing?

We use natural fibres which naturally are anti-odour (thanks to their antibacterial properties) and are breathable. Therefore we find that our garments only need to be washed every so often. Letting you garment breath in the open air is all that it may need.

However, if it does need a freshen up here are two options:

Machine wash in warm water (turn garment inside out and even better, in a garment bag), with wool/delicate detergent, on a wool cycle, lay flat to dry. We also advise you wash similar garments together (i.e. delicates together, not with towels!)

Hand wash in warm water, with wool/delicate detergent, squeezing gently, not soaking for over 5 minutes, roll into a towel and squeeze excess moisture out or put in a spin cycle in the washing machine, lay flat to dry.

Fold your garments once washed, we don't advise you hang your garments, especially when wet, this may cause your garment to stretch.

Our garments are pre-shrunk making them less susceptible to shrinking in the wash, however that being said generally avoid prolonged heat exposure either through hot water or tumble drying.
