Collection: Winter

Everything here is for the cold half of the year, and most of it is wool.

Start with the feet

Nesna Lobben felt boots — huopikkaat in the Norwegian tradition, boiled wool with a moulded non-slip sole. Made for standing still in dry cold: the yard, the school run, snowshoeing, the sledding hill. Adult and children's sizes.

Then the child

Tinynord MERCI — a knitted merino wool overall for babies, the layer that goes closest to the skin, under everything else.

Lenne merino overalls — a thin 100% merino wool baby overall from Estonia, for under the suit, inside a sleeping bag and on car journeys.

Zezuzulla jumpsuits — a waterproof winter jumpsuit with teddy lining for the pram and the hill, and a cotton jumpsuit for the weeks in between or as a layer underneath.

Patulove Lambie Cloud jackets — thick merino wool fleece for autumn and spring on its own, or under a windproof shell in winter.

And the car seat, which most people forget

A bulky winter suit should not go inside a car seat harness. The padding compresses in a collision and leaves the straps loose — so the safe way is to strap the child in wearing thin layers, then put the warmth on top.

Patulove car ponchos are made for exactly that. They go over the harness, not under it. The child stays warm on the walk to the car and warm in it, and nobody has to fight a coat off in a cold car park. Available in cotton and in merino wool.

Then the hands and the head

HERTTA — felted wool mittens, ear warmers, tube scarves and triangle shawls from Estonia. Handmade, 100% wool.

Breden balaclavas — a hat and a scarf in one, chosen by temperature: MAISON with a merino lining for babies at 0 to +10 °C, FERN for children at −5 to −15 °C, and FRODE for −15 °C and colder.

And something for the grown-up on the sideline

Paul Berg Nordic changing robes — the long hooded parka you pull on over everything when you are the one standing still. The touchline, the shore, the ice, the car park after swimming. Warm, windproof, and easy to get on over wet or cold clothes.

And the evening

Woolish — merino and wool throws, and merino baby blankets. The thing you reach for when everyone is finally inside.

One honest note about wool

Wool felt is made for dry cold, not slush. On a wet, hovering-around-zero day, choose rubber. On a clear cold day nothing beats it.
