THE HIGHEST FORM OF CRAFTSMANSHIP
REGENERATIVELY SOURCED
All raw materials are precious, but not all are equally grown. Janessa Leoné exclusively partners with Shaniko Wool, the only Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) and Nativa Regen certified wool producer in the United States.Shaniko’s tireless tending to the synergistic relationships of the Earth’s ecosystems results in their wool enriching the environment rather than depleting it, surpassing simple sustainability and leaving the environment better than it was before.
CARBON NEGATIVE
Over 2 million acres of land are under Shaniko’s regenerative land management, and each *single* acre sequesters approximately 4 tons of carbon per year.Traditionally produced goods deplete natural resources, but regeneratively produced ones capture more carbon than they create.*The average car emits 4.6 tons of carbon per year.
ARTISAN HAND-CRAFTED
Each Margaux is knit entirely by the hands of a New England-based, woman-owned and operated cooperative of skilled artisans. Their dedication to the craft of tactile art is uncompromising, and their unique form of cottage industry is an antidote to mass production.
LOCALLY MADE
The entire supply chain, from the soil the sheep graze on to the final finishing of the garment is entirely based in the United States, and painstakingly considered to both limit the environmental impact of transport and ensure transparency.

A SUPERIOR MEDIUM
Not all wool is created equal.Although some wool can be itchy, the fiber’s tactility is entirely dependent on its quality. The careful origins and cultivation of Janessa Leoné’s yarns impact their quality, resulting in a sumptuous tactility that is distinctly softer.We source the finest quality 100% Merino wool available in the United States today, painstakingly sourcing ranches that have been managed holistically and regeneratively for generations. Sheep, as grazing animals, work in harmony with the entirety of their ecosystem, helping to enrich the soil, support biodiversity, improve watersheds, all while providing an annual harvest of soft, distinctly non-itchy fibers. This resulting Shaniko wool combines the fiber’s traditional assets of natural thermoregulation and longevity with an unexpectedly luxurious hand feel.
