Founded with a passion for the Australian alpine lifestyle, Kunama The Label is dedicated to elevating women’s technical apparel through superior material science and intentional design. We specialise in base layers and mid-layers crafted from 100% Australian merino wool, specifically engineered at 18.5 microns and 240 gsm. This ensures our garments provide a luxurious, "zero-itch" feel while maintaining the high-performance thermal regulation and moisture-wicking properties required for intense mountain activity.
Sustainability and traceability are at the core of our brand identity. Our collections are Woolmark and RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) certified, ensuring that every piece is produced with respect for animal welfare and land management. We have intentionally moved away from the muted tones typical of technical gear, opting instead for a bold, vibrant colour palette that celebrates the energy of the snow community.
Based in Sydney with strong ties to the Snowy Mountains, we are actively expanding our reach through strategic collaborations with local athletes and instructors. As we look toward the 2026/2027 season, our focus is on scaling our direct-to-consumer model and establishing a footprint in the North American market, continuing to champion Australian merino wool as the gold standard for global alpine fashion.

Brands looking to stand out as industry leaders can take steps toward circularity. Meet the upcoming EU EcoDesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) & mandatory Digital Passports (DPPs) for fashion & all textile-based products sold in the EU by 2027. The Global Circular Network enables brands to meet compliance regulations, unable to be achieved through QR Codes/NFC. We offer affordable and efficient DPP solutions that seamlessly integrate into existing workflows plus link to an interconnected, human-centred circular economy.
GCN's washable RFID THREADS® create a secure, durable & bulk-scannable DPP that stays with the product throughout its lifecycle. Linked to an open-source cloud platform, RFID THREADS® provide verifiable, real-time data across rent, resale, repair, reuse, redesign & remake before recycling.
GCN helps brands go beyond compliance and traceability to activate Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) & connect to R-Cyclers and sorters across global supply chains. Brands can use this system to not only meet EU requirements but also demonstrate measurable action on emissions and pollution mitigation.
It’s time to put the economy into circularity. Lead the change with transparent, verifiable lifecycle data that supports people, planet, and long-term profit.
