Merino Bond

Our vision is to create a world where people appreciate the value of quality over quantity, where owning a few timeless pieces that can be worn repeatedly is preferred over buying trendy fast-fashion items that quickly lose their appeal.



We aim to simplify our customers' wardrobes by offering classic and versatile pieces made from the highest quality Merino Wool that can be worn for extended periods without the need for washing, reducing water waste and energy consumption.

Our Story

Our story began with a simple commitment to wake up everday before sunrise and walk for 40-60 minutes, regardless of the weather. As we began walking in the cold Chicago winter, we quickly realized that we needed the right clothing to make our daily routine comfortable and enjoyable. After trying many different materials for base layers, we stumbled upon Merino Wool garments, which turned out to be the perfect solution to our problem. Merino Wool was not only incredibly warm and comfortable, but it also had an amazing ability to regulate body temperature, making it suitable for both summer and winter. To our surprise, the Merino Wool base layers did not smell, even after being worn continuously for two weeks. Washing them was also a breeze - just a quick soak and rinse, and they were as good as new.

Inspired by the benefits of Merino Wool, we decided to start our own business. We noticed that while there were many Merino Wool products in the market, not all of them were of good quality, and it was often difficult to determine if they were made from real Merino Wool or not. Our goal was to provide the best quality products at a reasonable price, with a focus on authenticity, purity, and animal welfare.

We are proud to say that all our products are Woolmark certified, ensuring that they are of the highest quality and authenticity. Additionally, our products are mulesing-free, meaning that we care about the welfare of the animals that provide us with the wool.

As an added bonus, our team's background in software development has enabled us to create all the software we need for our business. This has helped us save costs, which we are passing on to our customers, making our products more affordable without sacrificing quality.

Our small, family-owned business is based in Lincolnwood, Illinois, and by choosing to shop with us, you are supporting a small, local business. When you shop with us, you can feel good knowing that your purchase is making a difference in our community.
