Responsibly sourced wool
Wool is naturally insulating, durable and well suited to the high-temperature sauna environment. We are prioritising suppliers who can provide clear information about fibre origin and animal welfare.
OUR MATERIAL DIRECTION
KYUIK is being built around naturally insulating wool, recycled materials where they make sense, and products designed to stay useful beyond a single season.
Wool is naturally insulating, durable and well suited to the high-temperature sauna environment. We are prioritising suppliers who can provide clear information about fibre origin and animal welfare.
We are exploring recycled fibres and components for linings, labels, trims and packaging wherever they meet our standards for comfort, durability and heat performance.
Pre-orders help us understand real demand before production, reducing the risk of manufacturing large quantities of stock that nobody asked for.
HONESTLY, WE’RE NOT FINISHED
“Sustainable” should not be a magic word printed on a swing tag. We would rather explain what we are doing, where the materials come from and what still needs improvement.
We are asking suppliers for clear documentation covering wool origin, fibre composition and recycled content rather than relying on vague marketing descriptions.
Packaging will be kept protective and practical, with recycled or recyclable materials preferred over layers that exist only to make an unboxing video longer.
As components are finalised, we intend to publish specific material percentages rather than making broad claims that cannot be checked.
We are designing around durable construction and replaceable or repairable components where practical, because the best product is one that does not need to be replaced unnecessarily.
