European organic, merino wool sport clothes

I am delighted to support Laurent, a French shepherd, agricultural engineer, and tailor living in Germany, in his initiative to offer high-quality sport clothing made in Europe (Germany) from merino wool sourced mainly from sheep raised in Provence.

As a hiking guide, I could testify that these clothes make a huge difference: light, avoiding smell, easy to wash and dry: they are just fantastic and belong to any backpack! 

This brand is deeply rooted in the tradition and heritage of transhumance, the centuries-old practice of seasonal migratory grazing. In close partnership with the GR69 hiking trail, they guide you along the ancient paths that shape their values and products.

They work with over 70 farmers in Provence, including more than 30 in the CPMA collective, as well as over 10 farmers in the Falkland Islands. These farmers are not just business partners, but close acquaintances — they know their farms, families, and living environments personally.
