The Fashion Range and the Essentials Range

The fashion collections always offer standout garments each season, made to the highest specification in limited numbers. They are released in two collections, Summer and Winter, plus “In Season Collections”. Swimwear, belts, footwear and accessories fill out the range.

Paula Ryan ‘Essentials’ is the cake awaiting your personal style frosting – though the pieces are equally delicious on their own. Summer and winter fashion ranges complement these quality, long-lasting garments.

Using exclusive Italian knits and superfine New Zealand merino fabric, Paula Ryan’s Essentials collection forms the building blocks of any woman's wardrobe. Think items that will remain timeless in style and endure because of quality fabrics – from simple singlets and tees to wardrobe-building skirts, pants and jackets.

We carry two ‘magical fabrics’ in the Essential collection; the finest quality Merino from New Zealand, along with Italian MicroModal, which promises greater absorbency than cotton. Made from wood fibre it is not only natural, but colour fast and easy care.

Essentials also double as perfect travel pieces with the ability to meet all dress codes, be lightweight, launder easily, and suit varying climates.

The first Paula Ryan Essential you buy will be through necessity… subsequent purchases will be because of the wear performance you have experienced.

What’s the meaning of "The Magic is in the Fabric”?

These words really do mean something, as those who are already Paula Ryan converts will attest to. Paula Ryan uses the highest quality fabrics including exclusive MicroModal for summer garments and New Zealand Merino for winter garments.

MICROMODAL

Modal is a type of rayon often coming from beech trees.Read more on MicroModal

Modal is 50% more water-absorbent than cotton, keeping you cool. It takes dye like cotton and is color-fast when washed in warm water. Modal is resistant to shrinkage and fading as well as being smooth and soft, more so than cotton. Once you have experienced MicroModal against your skin, you’ll never go back to inferior fabrics.

NEW ZEALAND MERINO

Merino is undoubtedly the pinnacle for comfort and warmth. Read more on New Zealand Merino

The Merino is breed of sheep producing the finest and softest wool known to mankind for clothing. The breed, originally Spanish, is now bred in New Zealand with Merinos being distinguished by often having long spiral horns.

Merino is as warm as it is excellent at regulating body temperature. It provides warmth without overheating the wearer, draws moisture away from the skin naturally, and has natural antibacterial properties.

The softness and comfort come from the wool having super fine fibres that are naturally crimped and soft.

MICROJERSEY

Paula Ryan MircoJersey is produced under a patented SensitivEcoSystem Program that uses an environmentally friendly, energy saving production process allowing for a reduced consumption of natural resources.Read more on MicroJersey
