Ahipao by Waiheke Cashmere

Crafted on Waiheke Island

Locally sourced yarn

We source our yarns locally from New Zealand, using a sustainable blend of cashmere, merino, brushtail possum fibre, and silk. These biodegradable fibres are not only luxuriously soft, warm and strong but are also crafted with care for the planet, ensuring our materials tread lightly on the earth.

Zero Waste

We utilise WholeGarment® technology, an innovative knitting method that creates seamless garments in a single process, eliminating fabric waste. This zero-waste approach aligns with our commitment to sustainability, ensuring every piece is crafted with precision and care for the environment.

Made by Locals

Each garment is meticulously hand-finished by our talented team of local Waiheke women, who sew every detail with precision and care. Their skill and dedication ensure every piece is crafted to perfection, reflecting our pride in quality and craftsmanship.
