About Embers

Embers Merino is the creation of two energetic people from opposite sides of the globe, who share the same ideas, drive and direction.

The outdoors is central to the Embers way of life yet we also enjoy the best that urban life has to offer.
If you live this way, our clothes are for you.

We design for those who won’t compromise between luxury, function and style.

We are motivated by a strong desire to protect the natural world.
Our garments are made purely of New Zealand Merino as it meets our technical and ethical needs perfectly.
Using a natural, sustainably grown product makes perfect sense to us.
There’s a huge choice of expensive synthetic clothes made from cheap oil based fabrics.

You’ve just found the alternative….

Sports

At Embers, Outdoor sports are a way of life.
There’s something pure involved in the journey.
They give us the opportunity to explore nature and ourselves.
We expose ourselves to risk and strip away the superficial elements of human life.
At these times the strongest friendships are forged, experiences gained and memories created.
