The Perfect Pairing: Matilda Life x Uimi Bring Merino Wool Clothing Australia to Life This Winter

The collaboration between Matilda Life and Uimi delivers a considered and timeless Merino wool clothing collection, designed to enhance your winter wardrobe with warmth and style. This partnership unites two Australian brands that share a deep respect for craftsmanship, sustainability, and everyday elegance. The result is a thoughtful range of Australian-made clothing that feels as good as it looks.

What Makes the Matilda Life x Uimi Collaboration Special?

This partnership is more than a seasonal drop, it’s a meeting of two like-minded brands that believe in doing fashion differently. Matilda Life has built its reputation on producing elevated wardrobe essentials made entirely in Australia, championing ethical production and slow fashion principles. Uimi, a knitwear manufacturer based out of Victoria is equally committed to quality and sustainability, bringing decades of expertise to the table.

Together, they’ve created a capsule of Merino wool jumpers that reflect both form and function. Each piece is made from 100% Australian Merino wool, a fibre known for its natural softness, breathability, and performance. The collection showcases thoughtful details like ribbed cuffs, drop shoulders, and an easy boxy silhouette with a crew neck that make layering stylish and straightforward.

A Closer Look at the Merino Wool Jumper

A highlight of the collaboration is the Merino wool jumper, available in five timeless shades: Raspberry, Black, Chocolate, Almond, and Antique. This piece embodies transeasonal design, constructed in a medium-weight knit that works just as well on chilly July mornings as it does layered under coats through August. Designed to sit at the hip, the relaxed, boxy fit creates a clean silhouette while allowing room for additional layers underneath. 

Finished with a classic crew neckline and refined rib detailing, the jumper offers versatility for every day of the week. Whether you’re commuting to work, heading out for a weekend escape, or enjoying dinner with friends, this piece moves effortlessly between occasions, with a colour to suit every style. 

 

 

 

Why Choose Merino Wool for Winter?

Made from 100% natural Merino wool, it’s biodegradable, renewable, and ethically sourced. But the appeal goes beyond eco-credentials. This jumper is designed to perform beautifully through winter, offering breathable warmth, softness, and durability that synthetic fibres simply can’t match:

• Thermal Regulation: Merino wool keeps you warm without overheating by trapping heat while allowing moisture to evaporate.

• Softness: Its ultra-fine fibres are gentle on skin, eliminating the itch often associated with traditional wool.

• Odour Resistance: Natural antibacterial properties mean you can wear Merino multiple times before needing a wash.

• Durability: Merino is resilient by nature, offering lasting wear without losing shape.

These features make it a reliable go-to for winter layering. Whether you’re braving a cold snap or just want something cosy to lounge in. 

Building a Versatile Winter Wardrobe with Merino

The key to a functional winter wardrobe is layering. The Matilda Life x Uimi collection is designed with that in mind. Beyond the signature jumper, consider other staples that build on the collection’s aesthetic:

• Merino Wool Shrug: Ideal for layering over tees or dresses.

• Wool Scarves and Beanies: Add warmth while elevating simple outfits.

• Neutral Bottoms: Think tailored trousers, classic jeans, or wrap skirts to complement wool textures. 

• Base Layers: Lightweight cotton or Merino base pieces that regulate temperature underneath, like the Mandalay Merino Wool long sleeve Knit.

 

 

 

Each element works together to create outfits that feel cohesive without being overly curated—just practical, comfortable style that lasts.

How to Style the Matilda Life x Uimi Jumper

A standout piece from the collection, this jumper demonstrates that thoughtful design and everyday wearability can be seamlessly combined. Its trans-seasonal weight, relaxed silhouette, and five rich colourways make it the kind of knit you’ll reach for on repeat. Whether you're keeping it casual or layering up for something more polished, it effortlessly adapts to your day. Here’s how to style it across winter’s many moods:

Morning Walks

Layer the jumper over a long-sleeve tee, then add track pants and a weatherproof coat. Finish with a scarf, such as the Uimi Frankie Merino Wool Patchwork Scarf Plum and Uimi Camilla Lace Beanie for a snug, easy look that’s ready for brisk air and movement.

Weekday Workwear

Tuck the jumper loosely into long pants, like the Lyndall wool pants or layer it over a collared shirt for structure. Add loafers or boots, like the Brighton penny loafer black and you’ve got a clean, modern outfit that feels put-together yet comfortable.

Dinner Plans

Dress it up with a midi skirt, a leather belt to define the waist, and some bold accessories. Choose darker hues from the collection to create a moodier evening look.

Weekend Getaways

Pair it with lynches drawstring pants and a utility coat, like the Louanna Soft Merino Wool Coat, for a relaxed travel outfit. Its breathable warmth makes it perfect for road trips, market strolls, or winter wine tastings.
