The Wild South Story:

Born of the Land, Made for Living

Our roots are planted in the rugged beauty of New Zealand, where our journey began as pioneers of outdoor performance. From those trails we’ve grown, but our core belief remains unchanged: great clothing should equip you for life, not just an activity.

In a land where the weather shifts as freely as the landscape, adaptability isn't a luxury—it’s a necessity. We design versatile collections that transition seamlessly from mountain trails to coastal towns, from morning frost to afternoon sun. Because the best adventures are often the unplanned ones, and what you wear should move with you.

The Heart of What We Make:

 Quality & Conscious Craft

We believe in doing the simple things well, and doing them with care. This means a relentless focus on the details you feel: fabrics chosen for their natural performance and beautiful feel, construction built for longevity, and fits designed for real movement.

Our collections are crafted from exceptional materials, including our signature 100% New Zealand Merino and Wool, because what rests against your skin should enhance your day, not complicate it. From outerwear that shields you from the elements to everyday layers of soft, breathable knitwear, each piece is an exercise in intentional design.

Style as an Expression, Not a Uniform

True style is authentic. It’s knowing who you are and dressing to live your life, fully. We avoid fast-fashion noise, focusing instead on elevated, timeless pieces that become staples in your story. Our designs are a unique interpretation of contemporary casualwear—relevant, considered, and always with a focus on sustainable wellbeing.

We are a New Zealand company, and our commitment runs deep: to our local makers, to responsible practices, and above all, to you. Our mission is to provide garments that exceed expectations in quality and fit, so you can feel confident, comfortable, and ready to engage with your world.

We’re here to create clothes that work as hard as you do, so you can get on with the serious business of enjoying life.

From our land, for your life.
