about us

New Zealand (or Aotearoa – land of the long white cloud), truly is one of the most picturesque and photogenic places on earth. A small island nation of just over 4.5 million people, New Zealand is made up of two major landmasses (North Island and South Island) and a number of smaller islands including Stewart Island located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The two main islands are divided by a 22km stretch of water called the Cook Strait.

New Zealand is located approximately 1,500km east of Australia and about 1,000km from the Pacific Islands. Due to its relative remoteness and being water locked, New Zealand was one of the last countries to be found and settled.

The country is made up of some of the world’s most spectacular landscapes, from vast mountain ranges, steaming volcanoes to sweeping coastlines. It is a natural playground for thrill seekers and adventurers and those who simply want to visit for the culture and landscapes.

Born and bred in the high country regions of New Zealand, Merino fleece has a world-leading reputation for being gentle, strong and resilient. With the finest of individual fibers this fleece provides perfect comfort while delivering warmth across a huge range of conditions. We carefully select only the finest quality fibers from the very best of sources for our yarn.

The brushtail possum is a unique small marsupial found in New Zealand and Australia with a coat of unique, valuable fur. The secret of this fur’s warmth is its hollow structure, an attribute found in only one other species – the polar bear. With air trapped inside the fibre the fur provides sumptuous warmth, natural insulation and incredible lightness. In New Zealand this possum is also a major threat to our native wildlife – and its use in high-end fashion helps bolster our country’s conservation efforts.

Pure mulberry silk has been regarded for centuries as one of the world’s most luxurious natural fibres. With natural strength and hypoallergenic and breathable characteristics it is perfect material to ensure a smooth, comforting feel.

All leather used on our garments is hand-washable genuine lambskin leather.
This is the softest and most supple of all leathers – it is regarded as the only choice when it comes to crafting luxury clothing that will withstand the test of time.
