Alpina™ | Premium Merino Wool Shawl
The ultimate travel companion and winter essential. The Alpina is crafted from high-grade Merino wool, designed to provide serious warmth without the weight or the "itch" of traditional wool scarves.
What Makes It Work
-
100% Merino Wool: We’ve used pure Merino for its natural temperature-regulating properties. It keeps you toasted when it’s freezing but breathes when you’re indoors, so you won’t overheat.
-
Silky, Non-Itch Texture: Forget everything you know about scratchy wool. These fibers are ultra-fine, making the shawl feel smooth against your neck—perfect for sensitive skin.
-
Generous Oversized Cut: This is a proper shawl, not just a skinny scarf. You can wrap it twice for maximum warmth or drape it over your shoulders as a sophisticated cape for dinner.
-
Natural Odour Resistance: One of the best things about Merino is that it stays fresh for longer. You won't need to wash it after every wear, which is a win for both you and the environment.
-
Crease-Resistant: It’s the perfect "throw in your bag" layer. Even after being stuffed in a tote or carry-on, it shakes out looking crisp and ready to wear.

Perfect For
-
Long-haul flights when the cabin air is freezing but you want to travel light.

Wellington commutes where you need a layer that blocks the wind but tucks easily into a bag.

Evening events as a chic alternative to a heavy jacket over a dress.

Gifting—you truly can’t go wrong with high-quality Merino.
Care Instructions
-
Hand wash only in cool water using a wool-specific detergent.
-
Do not wring or twist; gently squeeze out excess water and dry flat in the shade.
-
Avoid the tumble dryer at all costs—high heat will shrink Merino instantly.
-
Store folded; hanging can cause the fine knit to stretch over time.

We're Moving — And Everything Must Go.
After wonderful years in Auckland, we're getting ready for an exciting new chapter as we relocate Smith & Wilson Boutique to Wellington. Before we make the move, every dress, every shoe, and every bag from our Auckland collection must go.
Thousands of women across New Zealand have been part of our journey, and this is our way of saying thank you. These are the final pieces from our Auckland collection. Once they're gone, they won't be restocked at these prices.
If something catches your eye, now is the perfect time to make it yours before we begin our new chapter in Wellington.
