Wool for the Well-Travelled
A Parquet Scarf Story
There’s a certain kind of traveller who never rushes. They move through cities with an easy confidence, slipping into cafés the way the rest of us slip into old coats. They know the feel of cold air on warm wool, the comfort of familiar layers, the soft ritual of wrapping a scarf before stepping out again.
The Parquet Scarf belongs to people like that.
It’s the sort of piece that feels instantly lived-in, as if it has stories of its own. A geometric knit, patterned like parquet flooring, gives it quiet structure — a texture you notice only when the light catches it. Woven in New Zealand from possum fibre, superfine Merino and just enough silk to let it fall gracefully, it has that unmistakable softness that comes from natural fibres chosen with intention.
Slip it on, and suddenly winter feels gentler.
Some scarves impress at first glance; this one works slowly, the way well-worn leather softens with time or jazz unfurls over the length of a song. It’s light but warm, elegant but unfussy. It pairs as easily with a wool coat on an Osaka platform as it does with a worn denim jacket on a quiet South Island road.
It’s for the well-travelled — not in the sense of passport stamps, but in the way a person becomes textured by the places they’ve been. People who’ve learned that the real luxuries are warmth, ease, and things made properly.
And when you drape it over the back of a café chair or tuck it into your bag before a long train ride, it feels like something you’ve owned for years already.

Natural
'Natural' has a warm, earthy elegance that flatters effortlessly. It pairs beautifully with denim, wool coats and everyday neutrals, adding a subtle lift to a winter look.


A Man of Quiet Taste
Soft wool, strong coffee, and a scarf that suits his pace.
He’s the sort of man who favours wool coats, good leather, and a quiet corner of a café. The Parquet Scarf suits him naturally — a soft layer with enough structure to feel refined, and enough ease to feel lived-in. It pairs with his tweed, his morning long black, and his habit of taking the long way home.
Materials & Craftsmanship
This scarf is knitted in New Zealand from a luxury blend designed for real winter life: 20% possum fibre, 70% superfine Merino wool (17.5 micron), and 10% silk. The result is warmth without bulk, softness without fragility, and a natural drape that settles comfortably around the neck.
Possum fibre brings remarkable lightness and insulation, Merino keeps the temperature balanced and breathable, and silk adds a smooth finish. Together, they create a piece built for years of quiet, dependable wear.

How it feels to wear
The Parquet Scarf settles around your neck with that easy, effortless softness only natural fibres can pull off. It’s warm without ever feeling heavy — a light, insulating layer that moves with you rather than sitting on top of you.
The knit has a gentle structure to it, just enough texture to feel interesting when you run your hand along it, but never fussy. It drapes smoothly, catches the light in a quiet way, and warms you from the moment you step out into the cold.
It’s the kind of scarf you forget you’re wearing until a breeze comes through and you realise just how comfortable you are.


Architectural Inspiration
parquet
The Parquet pattern takes its cue from classic wooden flooring — those interlocking lines that feel both architectural and timeless. In knit form it becomes softer, more tactile, adding a subtle structure that elevates the scarf without overwhelming it.

Windswept coasts and winter roads.
Journey Inspiration
Windy ferry crossings, quiet road trips, and slow winter trains — these are the small journeys that inspired us.
To go with them, we’ve gathered a playlist of warm indie music and soft New Zealand voices to keep you company along the way.
For winter wanderers with quiet style
