The biggest disadvantage of dog harnesses made of synthetic materials is the smell. They will often start to smell due to build up of moisture and salts. Wool, on the other hand, has natural protection against odours. For the new merino harness, we use merino wool from a controlled source, which significantly reduces odours. In addition, the harnesses do not become electrostatically charged, making it more comfortable for your dog.
ORIGIN OF THE MERINO WOOL FOR OUR CURLI HARNESSES
Curli is aware of its responsibility with regard to the origin of the merino wool and obtains this raw material from ecologically and socially responsible production.
The wool for our Merino harnesses comes from a manufacturer that has been certified by the NPO “Textile Exchange” with the RWS label. The Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) is a globally applicable, voluntary standard for producers of new wool. It guarantees that the wool was obtained without mulesing.
In addition, our manufacturer has an ISO 9001 certificate and a WRAP (Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production) certification, which guarantees that the manufacturer produces under legal, humane and ethical conditions.
There is also knowledge and experience in meeting the requirements of the Greenpeace program “Detoxification of the Textile Pipeline”, which contributes significantly to the detoxification of the textile industry.
As you can see, curli takes its responsibility and ensures that the wool for the curli Merino harnesses comes from certified sources.
