Branded NZ Korowai
A small whanau contemporary branded Korowai business operating out of Christchurch. Branded NZ Korowai ahve been working on developing their design systems and operations for over a year now and officially launched their Baby Korowai Range. They work with a specialist team to use high-quality embroidery thread as opposed to the standard wool-based taniko bands.
Please note: These are not traditional Korowai Tawhito that are hand-made with Whatu. Their taonga are created using New Zealand resourced materials and feathers and are machine-sewn to the highest possible standards.

Chickpea Children’s Wear
Chickpea Children’s Wear is focussed on providing quality, timeless alternatives to mass production and fast fashion. Their garments aim to be enduring and easy to wear, using quality fabrics, notions and fastenings.
Garments are available for infants and toddlers up to age 5 years. All pieces are made to order using only natural, breathable fibres such as cotton and linen. Fabrics are pre-washed for shrinkage before construction.
Chickpea’s colour palette is inspired by nature and muted vintage tones. Many of the garment styles and colour options are unisex, in a purposeful step away from the typical ‘girls wear pink, boys wear blue’ gender norm.
This business is also conscious of the environment and is especially aware of the negative impacts made by the fashion and textile industry.
