66°North x James Merry Balaclava

Soft and warm balaclava made from 100% recycled polyester, in collaboration with the visual and hand broidery artist James Merry.

James Merry's deep affinity with Iceland and its native fauna and ornithology are the inspiration behind the capsule collection.

The flower featured in this design is one of my favorite wildflowers found in Iceland: the Eyrarrós (chamerion latifolium). When encountered in the wild it has such a striking appearance in contrast to the sparse gravelly terrain where it often grows. Beside the inherent beauty of the flower itself, it exemplifies so much of what I love about Icelandic nature - being both tenacious and delicate at the same time.”

The hangtag is made from peppermint seed paper, so please don't throw it, plant it and watch it grow.
