Soft Provenance - An Exemplary Tasmanian Tradition

Soft Provenance

An Exemplary Tasmanian Tradition

A Manifesto

Soft Provenance is Tasmania’s own language of savoir faire, it is a tradition of excellence shaped by the land and also by fibre, and artisanship.

It is an inheritance of purity and care and it unites the island’s rare superfine Merino, the stewardship of its growers, the artisanship of its makers, and the flourishing biodiversity of its land. This is a lineage belonging wholly to Tasmania, containing a purity born of place.

Excellence of Fibre
Tasmania’s ethical and sustainable superfine Merino is among the rarest and purest fibres in the world. Being shaped by climate and land, it carries the island’s elemental beauty within every thread.

Lineage of Growers
Generations of Tasmanian woolgrowers have tended not only their sheep, as family but also the landscapes that hold them. Their expertise lies in stewardship where they ensure that fibre and the environment thrive together.

Artisanship of Presence
Makers and knitters approach the fibre with reverence, shaping garments that honour its natural qualities. Their work embodies quiet mastery, restrained, refined, and deeply attuned.

Origin as Essence
Tasmania itself is provenance. Its stillness and remoteness infuse both fibre and people with a sensibility that values purity. This clarity of purpose also holds patience, and integrity.

Soft Provenance stands as Tasmania’s exemplary tradition, it is a heritage of artisanship and excellence that endures through every garment.
