Union Poncho
The Union Poncho — 350gsm Hemp & Organic Cotton
Meet the layer you’ll live in. The Union Poncho is crafted from a premium blend of hemp and organic cotton — a natural, breathable fabric that feels grounding, soft and seasonless.
Designed with the intention to hold your body, it features a lined hood for warmth, deep pockets and old-gold zips through the centre and sides so you can wear it open, closed, or relaxed and draped. Half sleeves give you effortless movement, making it the perfect throw-on for travel days, beach mornings, cool evenings, or moments between movement and rest.
One size fits all, with a silhouette that flatters, flows and moves with your life.
