At Atelier Clotho, we believe in the power of 100% natural animal fibers, sourced from the world’s most renowned regions and chosen for their exceptional warmth, resilience, and luxurious texture. Guided by a commitment to true sustainability, we ensure that all fibers are humanely collected, respecting both animals and the environment.

Unlike synthetic or "recycled" fibers, which often degrade after minimal wear, our premium materials offer a perfect balance between quality and sustainability. Every fiber tells a unique story—this guide introduces our carefully selected fabrics, their origins, benefits, and characteristics, helping you choose the perfect wool for your wardrobe.

Merino Wool from Australia: Soft, Breathable & Lightweight

Merino wool, sourced from Australia’s finest sheep farms, is prized for its fine fibers, offering natural breathability and insulation. Unlike coarser wool types, Merino wool feels soft against the skin and efficiently wicks away moisture, making it comfortable across different seasons. Though lightweight, it provides exceptional warmth without bulk, making it a versatile and practical choice.

Why choose Merino wool?

A soft, breathable, and insulating wool that feels light yet warm—perfect for layering.

At Atelier Clotho, we elevate Merino wool with innovation:

Patented washable wool fabric—reducing maintenance costs and making it easy to care for.
Signature water ripple texture—featured in our bestseller, the Ripple Ripple Coat, creating a shimmering effect under light.

Camel Hair from Mongolia: Natural Thermoregulation & Silky Touch

Collected from camels in Mongolia, camel hair wool is known for its superior insulating properties. These fibers adapt to extreme desert climates, providing warmth in cold weather and cooling properties in milder conditions.

Why choose Camel Hair?

Alpaca Wool from the Andes: Hypoallergenic, Soft & Durable

A soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic fiber that’s both luxurious and durable.
