Certified farms
Our wool comes from certified farms in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, North America, Uruguay and Argentina. They comply with strict levels of animal welfare, land management and ethical work policies.
CERTIFIED WOOL SOURCING AND COMBING
We source the finest wool and transport it to our certified combing mills. The greasy wool is washed, classified and dried, ready to be combed into wool tops.
WOOL SPINNING
Wool tops are turned into yarns by our certified spinners. Carefully testing for elasticity and resistance, wool fibers are combined to form the perfect yarn.
WEAVING / KNITTING
Yarns are then knitted as fabrics, garments or accessories, or woven as material for linings, garments and even luxury vehicle furnishings, at our partner industries around the world. We certify these comply with the NATIVA™ Protocol standards.
Manufacturing
Woven or knitted fabric becomes garments or furnishings. We fully certify the manufacturing of products using NATIVA™ wool, and ensure ethical standards are met throughout the process.
Shop
Garments arrive at shop floors with a 100% traceable journey. Customers can trace back the origins and check the full supply chain involved in the making of their garment.

Origins
Through the brand and its historical know-how of fibers, NATIVA™ is committed to provide high-quality and authentic fibers to the contributors of the value chain. We offer Merino and other wools from every producing region.
The NATIVA™ wool comes from the most breathtaking lands in Argentina, Uruguay, New Zealand, Australia,
United States and South Africa.
United States of America
Chargeurs maintains a longstanding relationship with sheep growers, wool buyers, co-ops, and
greasy wool warehouses in all wool producing regions across the United States. Only the best
wools are acquired for each blend to match perfectly with the customer’s expectation so ongoing
customer programs receive consistent blends year after year.
Uruguay
Uruguay is the second smallest country on the continent of South America. Thanks to excellent
climate and environmental condition, the approximate 6,5 million sheep flock can graze all
year round. All ingredients are reunited for a thoroughly favorable to high quality wool production.
ARGENTINA PATAGONIA
Patagonia is one of the world’s foremost sheep farming areas. The Patagonian grasslands consist of
vast steppes stretching as far as the eye can see to the foothills of the Andes. It is here,
in this sparse, wild landscape, that herds of sheep graze freely and undisturbed.
Australia Tasmania
Tasmania, the largest Australian island in the south-west of the continent, is abounding
in natural wonders. This luxuriant island with excellent air quality and temperate
climate is home to more than 3 million merino sheep. These sheep leave voluntarily
away from the human populations during the majority of the year, can enjoy a framework
of life with breathtaking reliefs, which allows them to produce one of the finest Merino
wools in the world.
NEW ZEALAND
New Zealand is the country with the highest density of sheep in the world with a total of more
than 27 million. The North Island of New Zealand is populated by cross bred sheep due mainly
to the climatic conditions whereas the drier southern part is the most suitable for Merino.
