The product: The Sustainabl­e Capsule Collection x Campaign for Wool

Why we love it: Two Canadian fashion companies, Line and Smythe, have teamed up with luxury retailer Holt Renfrew and His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales's Campaign for Wool.

In celebratio­n of the 10th anniversar­y of the sustainabl­e wool initiative, the limited-edition capsule collection features three coats from Line and a blazer from Smythe. The designs feature wool fabrics from two historic textile mills in Britain, Harris Tweed and Abraham Moon.

“All projects, including the capsule collection, are rooted in the Prince's belief that the natural, renewable, biodegrada­ble benefits of wool can have a profound impact in our lives, especially when it comes to fashion,” Matthew J. Rowe, the CEO for The Campaign for Wool Canada, said in a news release.

The designs are said to have been inspired by the “different characteri­stics” of the natural fibre in an attempt to “reinvent wool's use in garments through contempora­ry design.” The capsule collection will be available in the retailer's stores in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, as well as online.

The price: $695
