The Project
How do you honestly document what you’ve built?
Hannah and Hamish Acland had one question for their 15th anniversary: not a dinner, not a press release. How do you honestly document what you’ve built?
Four documentary episodes, each with a different angle. The origin, the farming heritage, the B-Corp journey, a retrospective. Shot in Wānaka, unhurried and unscripted. Each film stands alone and works as part of a whole. Together, the definitive record of what Mons Royale is and where it came from.
The Films
Episode 01
The Origin Story
Hannah and Hamish Acland tell the story of how they met and built a merino brand from the bottom of the world — an idea that became a global company, made from Wānaka.
Episode 02
Farm Kids & Merino
Hannah and Hamish trace their farming roots and why merino wool has been at the heart of everything Mons Royale makes.
Episode 03
B-Corp, Minimalism & Sustainability
An honest conversation about what sustainable business actually costs — the B-Corp certification process, and how minimalism has been a founding principle from day one.
Episode 04
15 Years
Hamish and Hannah look back across 15 years and forward into what the brand stands for. The founding values — and how they have held through every season since.
