The Outlands | Winter 26-27

Inspired by the Wild Beauty of the Himalayas

The Himalayas are known for their size, but the mountains are just as notable for their stillness. Step off the well-known routes and the landscape changes scale. You start to notice forest floors, tall pines, berries, untamed florals, and the way mist flattens everything into soft tones.

The Outlands is drawn from that quieter view. Color comes from bark, evergreens, and bare earth. Texture comes from wool and cashmere with a soft, natural feel. The mood is deliberately calm, because that is how SAND approaches winter: clothes that keep you warm and let the landscape, not the styling, set the tone.

It is a nature-inspired winter collection in the way that matters for what you wear. The landscape informs the palette, the textures, and the overall mood, while the silhouettes stay easy to wear.

A Winter Palette Inspired by Nature

Seven colors, built around the forest and the earth. The browns run from golden to deep, the greens from misty to evergreen, and two soft neutrals keep the palette light where it needs to be.

Caramel: Warm Golden Brown

A warm, golden brown with a rich, toasted depth. It is the most golden of the browns and sits well beside creamy neutrals.

Forest Pine: Deep Winter Green

A deep, elevated green inspired by the richness of winter evergreens. It pairs well with soft neutrals such as Winter Oat.

Cocoa: Rich Forest Brown

An intense brown inspired by cocoa beans and the dark bark of a winter forest. Layered with Malt or Winter Oat, it makes an easy tonal look.

Malt: Warm Earthy Brown

A deep, rich brown with warm, earthy undertones. Those undertones help it blend with the other earthy shades.

Maple: Burnished Amber Brown

A rich amber brown with a subtle, burnished warmth. It adds a little glow without leaving the earthy palette.

Winter Oat and Winter Sage: Soft Natural Tones

Winter Oat is a soft natural mélange of warm, creamy tones. Winter Sage is a muted, misty green with a soft winter undertone. Oat keeps a look light and creamy, while Sage adds a quiet green that works well next to Forest Pine.

Wool, Cashmere and New Fabric Innovations

Color gets attention first, but fabric decides how a winter piece feels once you have worn it a few times. Three fabric developments sit at the centre of this collection, and each has its own weight, drape and purpose.

Metallic Wool

A custom 135 GSM natural wool, developed exclusively for SAND in collaboration with its weavers and woven with fine silver metallic threads. The shimmer is subtle, closer to a hint of light than a shine. Because the threads are fine, the wool keeps its natural character. It is lightweight, warm, and soft against the skin, with a fluid drape that suits flowing silhouettes. Browse the Metallic Wool pieces to see how it moves.

Merino Wool Blend

This fabric is 480 GSM and made of 70% fine Merino wool and 30% recycled fibre. It is double-sided, with a refined texture and an ultra-soft feel on both faces. At that weight, it has real substance, yet it is designed to stay comfortable and easy on the shoulders, which matters in structured pieces. The brand specifies it for temperatures as low as 5°C, though comfort will depend on the garment and how you layer it. See the full Merino Wool Blend edit.

Cashmere-Silk-Merino Blend

The composition is 20% cashmere, 60% Merino wool, 10% silk, and 10% recycled binding fibre. Cashmere brings lofty softness, Merino adds resilience, and silk gives a lustrous drape. The construction is designed to insulate without excess bulk. The weave is dual-sided, so the fabric feels supple on both sides, and its fluid structure suits precise tailoring and sculpted silhouettes. If you are looking at cashmere coats or luxury wool outerwear, the Cashmere-Silk-Merino Blend collection is the place to start.

Explore The Outlands for Women and Men

The collection is built so that pieces work together. Start with The Outlands for women: tops and shirts, dresses, bottoms, co-ord sets, coats and jackets, shawls and scarves, and jumpsuits. A top and bottoms in one color make a simple base, a co-ord set keeps things easy, a coat or jacket takes care of the outer layer, and a shawl or scarf finishes the look.

The Outlands for men follows the same palette, with shirts, bottoms, co-ords, and coats and jackets. Bags and sandals round out the collection for both.
