Product Reviews by Experts
Smitten’s Coatigan is a dream to wear. It’s lightweight, but I’ve found it keeps me warm on cold days, and I love the sleeves (the fabric is doubled in the last portion of the sleeve, which feels really durable and snug). I love the flattering tone of red for my cool-toned skin. It’s perfect for elevating any outfit – I’ve found myself reaching for it when quickly heading out to the shops or market. The consideration of ethics and sustainability adds another level of thoughtfulness and true luxury. I love that Smitten works to make use of all the fabric when cutting the garments to reduce waste, and of course, because the Coatigan is made from wool, it’s fully biodegradable. 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, and it’s great that Smitten supports fair pay throughout its supply and manufacturing processes.
This coatigan is a piece that has lots of potential to be a well-loved and well-worn item in a person’s wardrobe. It’s versatile, transseasonal and has the ability to be worn with a variety of ensembles. It’s a sleek and elegant take on a cosy cardigan. 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.
I love wearing this beautiful coatigan. The longline style is so flattering, with a lovely drape and I find it goes with almost everything in my wardrobe. The pockets are much appreciated, and the merino is soft and warm without feeling heavy. I also like knowing it’s made from Australian-grown merino, knitted in Melbourne and sewn in Tasmania, supporting local makers and responsible wool production.
