EMU Australia's Autumn Winter 22 collection was inspired by transformation, modern components mixed with natural materials and tones to give contemporary allure while remaining faithful to tradition.

Starting with material selection, EMU Australia uses only the finest natural materials, including the highest quality Merino wool, leather, and sheepskin, which are world-renowned for their super-natural qualities including next-to-skin softness, strength, innate versatility, and technical benefits as well as being renewable, biodegradable 100% natural. EMU Australia's wool has carried the Woolmark seal of approval for over a decade, guaranteeing its premium quality and authenticity.
