About Our Products

In today’s fashion world, we often hear words like fast fashion and sustainability—but they rarely go hand in hand. Fast fashion fuels waste, encouraging us to buy, wear briefly, and discard. Most of it ends up in landfill or incinerated.

At North South Stewart, we believe wool offers a genuine way forward. It’s natural, renewable, and beautifully practical. New Zealand sheep grow a fresh fleece each year after shearing, thriving on grass and open mountain air. The country leads the world in humane and sustainable farming practices, ensuring animal welfare and environmental care.

Our merino wool is blended with mulberry silk and New Zealand possum fibre for a soft, luxurious feel and remarkable warmth. Possums, an introduced pest, threaten native forests—so using their fibre helps protect New Zealand’s natural ecosystem.

Japan’s winters are cold, and weather patterns are shifting. Wool keeps you warmer than synthetic fabrics with fewer layers. It also needs less washing—wool resists odour and freshens easily with a simple airing, saving water and energy. Many of our customers wear their hats and scarves all season, washing them only before storage.

Our range isn’t trend-driven. We design pieces to mix effortlessly with your wardrobe and to last for years with proper care. Handwash gently or dry clean, then store them safely for next winter.

Whether you’re after soft wristwarmers, a cozy beanie, or a vibrant scarf, our collection brings warmth, colour, and comfort to everyday life.
