About
Korean designer Terry Shin founded Blackmerle in 2016 and has since maintained an iterative, textile-focused design process. With muted colors but rigorous textural variation, the pieces simultaneously transgress while remaining practical. The wearer, like the clothes, blends in from afar yet commands attention up close.
Blackmerle's material range is unmatched, as they source and develop their fabrics from artisanal mills across Japan and the UK. Textures and tones are further accentuated through treatments, including natural dyeing, pigment over-dyeing, and hand-waxing. Their rich catalog of tops, bottoms, and outerwear can be worn layered together for maximal textural effect or individually as a seamless addition to any wardrobe.
