10 things you can do in Houdini’s merinos

Even though the waves of pandemic have soothed, Houdini’s layers deserve endless praise. 

The Swedish brand has developed the best sustainable materials in the world for a long time now. Their layers are hard to live without after having once tried them.

Houdini is not sold at IVALO.COM at the moment. See our wide range of sustainable women's merino wool knits as well as stylish options for men's knitwear.

Pick your favorite out of Houdini’s layer selection and enjoy!

Desoli

The light and soft Desoli is a super popular Houdini product family made of luxury merino wool. It includes two different lengths of trousers, a long-sleeve and a short-sleeve shirt, underwear, and a turtleneck. Desoli’s 100% merino is a result of long product development – it’s very light and pure wooly fabric.

Wander

Houdini’s Wander is made of a material consisting of 60 % superfine merino and 40 % Tencel lyocell. The natural warmth of merino wool combined with the smooth texture of Tencel works like magic in extreme conditions while being very comfortable to wear. Wander is thicker and sturdier than Desoli.

When you want to pop outside after lunch, you’ll already be wearing layers and everything works swimmingly.

3. Train outside! Wear Houdini Desoli or Activist under your shell clothing and enjoy sports to the fullest. Dreamy light and warm layers are perfect for skiers and runners.

6. Couch potato’s bestie! You can mooch about wearing just Houdini layers at home every evening – the design is more stylish than basic long johns.

7. Sleep! If you would happen to fall asleep while reading or watching the telly in your Houdinis, not to worry – they are light and breathable enough to keep you comfy at night. The IVALO.COM team has some experience about sleeping in a cool log house in the winter season while wearing Houdini layers and they proved fantastic in this action, too.

8. For ice swimmers! If you like cold dips in icy waters and maybe a sauna on the top, Houdini is a great choice. It doesn’t matter if your skin is moist, just pull the layers on – the materials are moisture-wicking and you’ll feel nice and warm in next to no time. Houdini’s merino is warm even when wet.
