About Our Clothing

How should I care for my knitwear?

Handwash in cool water, no more than 30 degrees celsius, using a certified wool detergent. Please do not soak or twist/wring garment. Roll gently in a towel to remove excess water and dry flat in the shade. Cool iron if needed.

Due to the composition of the fibres, a minimal amount of shrinkage may occur on the first wash. Follow the steps above to minimise this.

How often do I need to wash it?

To ensure longevity it is best to limit the frequency of washes where possible. The natural fibes should not retain odours if aired between wears.

Where are your clothes made?

Proudly made in New Zealand. Every piece is knitted and hand finished in Otago.

What materials do you use?

Our knitwear is made from a merino and cashmere blend, that we source directly from an Italian mill. It's exceptionally soft against newborn skin, naturally temperature-regulating, and built to last well beyond the first wear.

What sizes are available?

Our clothing is available 0-3 months, 6-12 months, 12-18 months and 2 years. For more information on sizing please see measurements below.

Our Sizes

We know that to help regulate your little one’s temperature, the ability to layer their clothing is enormously important - particularly in their first few months of life. With this in mind we have deliberately made our sizes generous to allow some room underneath.

Our Colour Palette

 

With a view to protecting our environment from additional landfill and creating garments which can be treasured and passed on to the next generation, we have carefully selected a colour palette and styles of a classical nature. There are so many beautiful children’s clothes available today in various tones and patterns. We hope our collection will offer timeless versatility and complement every little wardrobe.
