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.

Dirty Hippie
Dawn started making natural personal hygiene products a decade ago when she had trouble finding natural products (at a price she could afford), that were actually natural and worked.
New to motherhood, she was shocked and appalled when she learnt about aluminium in shop-bought deodorant and that it could be passed onto breastfed babies. Her journey progressed and she started making deodorant for her family and friends, first in her kitchen, then their caravan and then a high cabin where she still makes the products today.
Dirty Hippie grew through word of mouth to become the successful small business it is today. Dawn’s objective remains to provide all-natural products that you will love to use, as organic as possible and as affordable as possible.
Dirty Hippie is also passionate about environmentally-friendly packaging, with measures in place to minimise their impact on the environment:
- Lip balms, deodorant and solid moisturiser bars packaged in cardboard tubes
- Kawakawa balm in glass jars with metal lids
- Shampoo & Conditioner bars with only a paper wrapper
- Raw honey is available in glass jars

FeltedPaws by Tatiana
Welcome to FeltedPaws by Tatiana – highly detailed needle felted miniature animals that capture a moment in time forever, made in New Zealand by internationally recognised artisan needle felter Tatiana Kalnins (PhD). My works have appeared in several New Zealand art galleries, in two regional publications (‘Valley Voice’ and’ South’) and one national publication (‘New Zealand Woman’s Weekly’). It has also been a huge privilege to be invited to appear in the international teddy bear magazine “Teddy Bear Times and Friends” issue 247. I have works in homes all over the world, including Australia, Canada, the UK, Germany, Hong Kong, the USA and of course New Zealand.
I use my background in animal behaviour and zoology (MSc in animal behaviour) to inform my creations so that they are more than just replicas on animals: each is alive with it’s own unique personailty and energy. I have also spent many years involved in training my blue heeler (and instructing dog training) in canine freestyle and other dog sports and this also informs my work.
My works are intended to be artistic fibre sculptures, and I try to create as much of my animals out of fibre as possible, and so tongues, teeth and lips are generally felted. The exceptions are the eyes which are custom made and the noses which are polymer clay.
Needle felted miniature animals take many many hours to perfect (on average a week per miniature in my standard size; one and half to two weeks for the large ones). All miniatures have a strong, stainless steel wire frame which will not rust. I use fibres sourced from all across the world such as merino, corridale, alpaca and mohair and silk to create and finish the miniatures as realistically as possible. The cost of commissions is dependent on size/complexity of the animal; factors like colouring, general proportions and face shape (brachychephalic breeds are more complex to make for example) all play a part in determining how much time a miniature will take, and subsequently their cost to make. Below is a rough guide on sizing/pricing – feel free to message me a photo or two for a more specific quote.

Fenella’s Dog Coats
I like dogs and I like sewing, hence the creation of dog coats. Comprised of double-layered recycled wool textiles, these garments are designed for warmth and comfort.
Being a dog carer and an upholsterer, I spend a lot of time with dogs and have improved upon the usual dog coats on the market, which are ill-fitting and synthetic.
Coats fasten firmly on the underside with velcro, no bulky adjustable clips, and straps. Available either off the rack or made to measure, provide your dog’s dimensions: neck, girth and back, for a bespoke fit. Colour preferences are catered for.
I also make dog beds in the form of futons. They have zip-off wool covers and wool-filled inners.
Raincoats are available too with nylon outer and cotton or wool lining.
Coats and beds are washable and to be done so according to wool wash instructions – lukewarm water with gentle agitation and laundry soap. Rinse well, hang to dry, do not use a dryer.
