SPANISH MERINO : A LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE
The story of Merino wool begins in Spain, where the breed was carefully developed as early as the Middle Ages.
For centuries, Spanish Merino sheep were so valuable that their export was strictly controlled, preserving the country’s reputation for producing the finest wool in Europe.
This long tradition of selective breeding led to a fibre that was remarkably soft, uniform and durable, qualities that quickly made Spanish Merino the reference for luxury textiles.
