Unwanted fibre becomes an UNWONTED experience. The brand makes alpaca duvets from fibres that would otherwise go unused. Across Poland, 47 small farmhouses produce fleece in quantities too small for industrial processing. UNWONTED collects, grades, and processes these volumes into duvets with GOTS–certified organic cotton shells, entirely free of synthetic components. Founded in 2025, the brand bridges Copenhagen design and Polish agriculture, where the founder's father and sister trained as professional shearers to supply the collection. Collection that is limited by the natural shearing cycle. Alpaca fibres accounts for 0.05% of world textile production and the experience of sleeping under it remains unfamiliar to most.
