Our Values

The Principles That Guide Our Craft

Our values are the foundation of every choice we make—from the farms we partner with to the last stitch in a garment. They are our promise to you, our community, and the land we call home.


Natural

Timeless fibres that perform, look beautiful, and honour the planet.

We believe in the inherent intelligence of nature. Our commitment begins with 100% New Zealand Merino and Wool—fibres that breathe, regulate, and endure. From field to garment, we choose materials that work with the earth, creating clothing that offers natural performance and leaves a gentle footprint.

Honest

Transparent, ethical, and always striving to do better.

We believe in radical honesty—in our sourcing, our making, and our impact. We are committed to ethical practices and sustainable systems, but we acknowledge this is a journey. We are always learning, improving, and holding ourselves accountable to a future worth building.

Loving

Every piece is crafted with care and attention to detail.

Our knitwear is homemade in New Zealand by skilled hands that take pride in their craft. This love is woven into every seam and finished edge. We believe in the beauty of details and the integrity of construction, creating garments meant to be lived in and loved for years.

Intentional

Thoughtful design, exclusive runs, and true fit.

We create not for the masses, but for the individual. Our styles are produced in small runs to our precise New Zealand sizing. This intentional approach allows for focus on quality, reduces waste, and ensures you receive a garment that fits not just your body, but your life.

Timeless

Enduring style as a true investment.

We reject fast fashion. Our fabrics, colours, and silhouettes are curated for longevity, not seasons. We create elevated traditional style that transcends trends, offering versatile pieces that become timeless investments in your wardrobe and a more considered way of living.

New Zealand

Grown here, made here, lived here.

Our identity is rooted in this land. We are New Zealand owned and operated, and our standards are born from this place. By keeping our entire process local—from the high-country stations to our partner mills—we support our communities, reduce our miles, and ensure quality you can trust, from our land to your life.
