Merino Wool
Merino wool is one of the most demanding natural fibers to work with well, and it runs through this Gabriela Hearst collection across dresses, sweaters, tops, skirts, blazers, and trousers. The wool is chosen for its fineness and its ability to hold structure without stiffness, then handcrafted in Italy into pieces built to last for years. It breathes, resists wrinkling, and softens with wear, dependable through changing weather and daily use.
In dresses, merino's natural give lets a close-knit midi hold its shape without reinforcement, while the fine gauge keeps the weight light enough for transitional months. Sweaters and tops sit comfortably against the skin, with the fine fibers creating a naturally soft feel without the need for additional surface treatments. On the tailored side, merino holds a clean press beautifully, which suits the structured blazers, fitted skirts, and slim trousers in the range.
All of it follows the same sourcing standard the house applies everywhere. Merino is selected from suppliers whose animal welfare and environmental practices meet Gabriela Hearst's documented sustainability position, and every piece is produced in limited quantities. It sits naturally beside the house's wider cashmere. Explore the collection to discover fine merino knitwear built to be worn again and again.
