Who we are
For hundreds of years, New Zealand’s story has been woven with wool. And, for, the last thirty, we’ve been working on our own chapter, curating luxurious, 100% New Zealand-made knitwear from the heart of Queen Street. We’ve always believed in sustainable style: timeless pieces, made with the planet in mind. When you come from a place as naturally beautiful as ours, that’s just what you do. So our natural, breathable fibres don’t just look good, they do good at the same time.
Where you’ll find us
Since 1994, we’ve called 107 Queen Street home. Originally raised for the New Zealand Insurance Company, all the way back in 1918, it was one of the earliest high-rise buildings in Auckland. Our façade is hard to miss, clad in Nelson Kairuru marble. It’s a beautiful example of taking the best of the land and shaping it to last — which, incidentally, is exactly what we’re all about.
Getting there Te huarahi ki reira
You’ll find us at 107 Queen Street in the heart of Auckland’s CBD. We’re just a few minutes’ walk from Waitematā Station, the Downtown Ferry Terminal and the cruise ship terminals on the waterfront, making us an easy stop for train, bus, ferry and cruise passengers. The SkyBus from Auckland Airport also stops along Queen Street, and paid parking is available in nearby city car parks.
