Wildfool

Wildfool is a small, quiet-luxury soft-textile brand built on four natural fibres — silk, cashmere, wool, and hand-woven raffia. We make scarves, bags, hats, and home textiles for the daily, not the delicate. The things you reach for without thinking — on the couch, in the car, at the office when the air conditioning is doing that thing again.

We didn't start with a business plan. We started with a question: why does everything in your closet look fine but nothing makes you feel held? Wildfool is the answer we've been working on ever since.

The brand line — "The material is the luxury. Same fiber. Different price tag. Sourced where they're made." — is how we think about the offer. We go to the same mills that supply European luxury houses, take the same fibre, the same season, the same goats — and skip the name and pass the price through.

The person behind the "we"

Wildfool is run by Helia, a former trade-industry professional who left the job after an unexpected moment in the back of a car, wrapped in a wool blanket on a long drive. It wasn't warmth, exactly. It was the first time she noticed what it felt like to have safety in physical form — something heavy around her shoulders that made her breathing change before her mind caught up.

She has been chasing that feeling ever since. Wildfool is the brand she built around it. The team is small: the person who argued over the exact shade of the packaging is the same person who packs your order. The blankets we sell are the same ones on our own beds.

Helia rarely appears in front of the camera. When you read "we" on this site, that's who it is — one person and a small circle of collaborators who use the pieces they make.

Material guides and silk fundamentals

Material philosophy

  • Mongolian wool comes from the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, where winters drop below minus forty and sheep grow fleece that has been solving the cold for four thousand years. We chose it because when you hold a heavy blanket made from that fibre, your nervous system settles before your mind catches up.
  • Mulberry silk is graded by momme — the weight and density of the weave. Wildfool scarves run from 12 momme (lightweight, spring-summer drape) to 19 momme (substantial, anchors a knot without slipping).
  • Hand-woven raffia is sourced from traditional artisan weavers. We favour dense, tight weaves over loose decorative ones — the kind that holds structure after a season of use.
  • Cashmere is selected for micron count (14–19 microns for next-to-skin softness) and handled with the expectation of decades of wear, not seasons.
