Ethical Practices
Smitten Merino’s clothing is made from 100% non-mulesed Australian grown merino wool or organic cotton, with all fabrics Oeko-Tex 100 certified and merino wool produced at a Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) certified facility. All garments are made in Devonport, Tasmania, by a team personally known to the business, with all team members and seamstresses paid above award wages. The brand also supports diversity and age inclusion within its small team.
Sustainable Practices
Smitten Merino packages all parcels in certified worm-friendly, 100% biodegradable, home compostable post bags and sends all parcels carbon neutral. The brand operates a zero-waste office, uses no plastic in packaging and recycles all office paper and cardboard boxes from clothing deliveries. In manufacturing, all fabric offcuts are used to make items such as beanies, headbands or mittens and all Smitten clothing is fully biodegradable.
Social Impact
Smitten Merino donates over 2% of sales annually to environmental protection, plants 1,430 diverse rainforest trees each year with Rainforest Rescue to offset carbon production and support rainforest regeneration and holds five founding memberships with Bonorong Wildlife Park to help fund the animal hospital for injured wildlife. The brand also donates annually to the Save The Tasmanian Devil Program and extends the life of its clothing through the Smitten Circularity program, accepting returns of pre-loved items for resale.
Product Reviews by Experts
Pure luxury. Wow. This dressing gown is the perfect fit, is thoughtfully constructed, and the colour is divine. There is no cosier feeling than wrapping up in this on the sofa, especially during these cooler months, and I’m sure this dressing gown will also be breathable enough for summer. I love that it’s responsibly made, from the sheep, through the environmental impact, and through to the team and makers. It’s something you’ll only need to buy once, and I know I’ll be wearing it for years – if not decades – to come. What stands out the most to me is that this dressing gown is entirely produced in Australia – wool from Aussie sheep, knitted in Melbourne, and cut and hand sewn in Tasmania. I applaud Smitten Merino for the commitment to keeping production local. I’m usually hyper-cautious of wool pieces, but I’d happily recommend this product knowing it’s made from 100% non-mulesed merino wool from Australian sheep with OEKO-TEX certification and produced at a Responsible Wool Standard facility. I really appreciate this consideration of ethics. Beyond this, it’s great to see that all of their workers and seamstresses are paid above award wages in Australia (unfortunately this isn’t always the case with Australian-made clothing). Even better that their factory is solar powered.
How luxe to be wrapped in an Australian-made, merino wool nightgown? The long-line wrap hugs the body, and elevates the loungewear experience. It’s one of the thinnest dressing gowns I’ve tried, so one I’d reach for more on warmer nights – however, the merino wool make-up means it’s a suitable choice year-round. With a removable tie and two deep pockets, it’s also made with functionality in mind. I’m thoroughly impressed by how local and holistic Smitten Merino is. Its commitment to Australian-made woollen products should be celebrated, particularly the processes’ triangle of production of wool from Tassie sheep, to fabrics produced in Melbourne, to garments sewn back in Tassie. It’s exciting to see! Smitten tackles many aspects of sustainability, from renewable energy to end-of-life care. There’s a lot to be proud of.
This is the kind of dressing gown that makes chilly mornings much more enjoyable. The superfine merino feels wonderfully soft against the skin, keeps me warm without feeling bulky, and has a lovely natural drape. It’s clear a lot of care has gone into making it, with the merino fabric produced in Melbourne and each dressing gown made in Tasmania using Australian-grown, non-mulesed wool.
