Kaipara is a German brand that makes high-quality sports and leisure clothing out of pure Merino wool. The clothes are made for people who care about performance, comfort, and the environment. Frank Selter started Kaipara in 2011 because he loved the unique qualities of Merino wool and thought that clothes should be both useful and made in a way that is good for people. From the start, the company has promised to make all of its clothes in Germany and to do so in a way that is open and responsible with resources.
Every Kaipara piece, whether a base layer, a long-sleeve shirt, or an accessory, is crafted from certified mulesing-free Merino wool sourced from ethically managed farms and processed to the highest standards of quality and comfort. The brand’s dedication to animal welfare, traceable materials, and local production reflects a thoughtful approach to sustainable fashion that resonates with environmentally conscious consumers.
Made in Germany, Kaipara’s collections bridge the gap between performance and everyday wear. The natural thermal regulation, breathability, and softness of Merino wool make its garments ideal for everything from outdoor sports to urban life. Kaipara also works closely with small and mid-sized German manufacturers, supporting traditional craftsmanship and fair working conditions, a deliberate choice that preserves the value of local industry.
The brand's philosophy is that each product should be designed honestly, with respect for animals, the environment, and the people who make the clothes. Kaipara makes clothes that are built to last and feel good to wear, whether shoppers are looking for functional layers for adventure or refined staples for everyday life.
We love Kaipara because it shows that Germany can make ethical, high-quality clothing that lasts and looks great by using natural Merino wool, clear supply chains, and skilled craftsmanship.
