Pos.sei.mo's fabric showcases the natural qualities of individual natural fibres through a range of yarn blends. The textures are soft, lightweight, and luxurious, offering top-quality products. Their classic fabric is a mix of fine New Zealand Merino wool, Possum hair from the Brushtail Possum, and silk. The yarn is spun in New Zealand and then processed in Germany and the EU, resulting in warm, soft knitwear that blends natural elegance with practicality and timeless styles. Pos.sei.mo is committed to responsible production, with a focus on sustainability and ethical practices for people and the planet.
Pos.sei.mo believe that healthy sheep naturally produce the best quality wool. The fine Merino Lambswool comes from selected farms that have a long-standing relationship with the spinning mill. In addition, certified ZQ Merino wool can be traced back to each individual farmer. The ZQ program ensures animal health by adhering to the Five Freedoms. Provision, movement, weather protection, no mulesing and medical care.
The Brushtail Possum is an Australian marsupial introduced to New Zealand in 1837 by the first settlers. They bred uncontrollably for over 100 years. They have no natural enemies and cause enormous damage to the forests and native wildlife.
Possums ruthlessly eat fruits, tree shoots, bird eggs, and chicks and within a few decades managed to drive many native species to the brink of extinction. The possums destroy the unique ecological balance of New Zealand. To protect the threatened flora and fauna, the country's government endorses controlled hunting to reduce the population of Brushtail Possums. The resulting pelts would otherwise go to waste.
This product is thus the world's first Eco-Fur that can be worn with a good environmental conscience. Pos.sei.mo are aware that the quality of raw materials depends on a healthy environment and good living conditions for animals and humans. That's why they care about where their raw materials come from.
