100% Merino Wool Felt is a natural biodegradable, renewable material.
From its beginnings, the Graf Lantz design strategy was to create a heightened awareness of felt as a sustainable performance textile with attributes that rival modern tech materials for utility and sustainability. Felt is not only beautiful, it is renewable, biodegradable, chemical free, and cruelty-free. Spreading the word has allowed us to align our business and sustainability practices efficiently and effectively.
