Inside the Spices: burnt orange, merino wool and a quiet cut

Spices · The Merino Zip Pullover

Oct 31, 2026·

Some tops earn their place quietly. The Spices is one: merino wool, finished in burnt orange, and made to be worn often without much thought.

How to wear it

It pairs with grey, ecru, navy and denim. Avoid bright accents; the cloth is the detail.

Fabric

The material is merino wool, tightly woven, with a dry hand. It breathes better than a synthetic blend, which matters if you wear the same top all day.

Fit

Cut is mid-rise with a straight leg. If you prefer a closer fit, size down; the fabric gives slightly after the first wear.

Care

Cold machine wash, low spin, dry flat away from direct sun. Iron on low if you want a sharper finish, though it is not needed.

Worth knowing

Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.

If you already own something similar in a lighter cloth, this is the version for cooler months.
