Materials and Certificates
Our production process begins with the selection of materials, prioritizing natural fibers. By choosing them, we aim to create trustworthy, long-lasting products while supporting the use of renewable resources.
Fibers such as wool and cotton bring a combination of softness, durability, and breathability—features that directly shape the feel and function of the final product.
Unlike synthetic alternatives, natural fibers offer a distinct balance of comfort and material character, enhancing the overall user experience and the authenticity of the product. This approach results in products that are reliable and reflect the values of modern home textiles manufacturing.
We are certified to the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS), Control Union CB-CUC-1184420. The Responsible Wool Standard describes and independently certifies animal welfare and land management practices in wool production and tracks the certified material from farm to final product.
Barker Textiles is a Wool Integrity NZ™ brand partner which guarantees our wool is mulesing-free – has been ethically grown and has followed a path of genuine integrity. Wool Integrity™ is designed to provide full transparency within the supply chain. The Wool Integrity™ program provides assurances around important consumer expectations such as animal welfare and environmental sustainability, traceability, wool quality, health safety & wellbeing, and social compliance.
Our wool products are Woolmark-certified. Woolmark is a wool industry certification mark used on pure wool products that meet quality standards set by The Woolmark Company. This certification program enables you to identify the wool garment or wool care product that is of the highest quality.
