These two garments are the highlights of the Avington collection. Featuring a glorious aran panel detail and long side splits, choose between the versatile cardi or the modern tunic – both are modern classics.
Highly prized and super soft, Australian Superfine Merino is the ultimate natural fibre. The most amazing secret of all is how it feels against the skin. Silky and smooth, with an unparalleled comfort factor, this wool can be worn directly next to the skin.
Superfine Merino breathes with the body; it warms you up when the temperature drops and helps to cool when you feel hot.
