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:

Hello everyone! I am based in the Tararua District and create clothing in my little sewing studio. I stated sewing for myself and my children 4 years ago as I was sick of the synthetic, poor quality and generic looking clothing I found in stores.
My most popular items are womens’ and children’s underwear. But regularly make hoodies, pants and tees. I work with mostly cotton and merino fabrics.
I can make most children’s items up to a size 12/14 and women’s up to 3xl.
You pick the fabric you love and I create something you will love!
Kiwi Snuggle Sacs are the ultimate in comfortable and warm pet beds. Made in Taranaki, postage is available NZ wide.
Snuggle between the warm faux fur inner, or sleep stretched out on top, these cosy cave style beds suit cats and dogs.
Need a bed for your crate? I can make to your size requirement and style, be it a snuggle sac or a pad.
My name is Aaron Ellis-Smith. I was born in New Zealand and live in Mangawhai, a coastal town on the east coast of the north island, 1 hour south of Whangarei.
I began carving in 2004 and have always loved timber. I carve most types of wood (and occasionally other mediums), but find swamp kauri the most enjoyable timber to sculpt. Something about it’s character, age (this can range from 2000 to 50,000 years old), feeling and uniqueness to New Zealand inspires me. I also enjoy New Zealand’s native forest, and perhaps part of the reason I love swamp kauri is, although it is a finite resource, it doesn’t require damage to, or the felling of our wonderful native forest.
Carving is something I enjoy doing, being a part of a pieces evolution into final form is something I never get tired of. I hope that those who see my work gain as much pleasure from the pieces, as I received creating them.
Zanux overalls are specially designed to flatter and comfort women working outdoors. They are full of special features women will love, for example, zip on the hips to undo overalls without taking them off!
I’m based in Wairarapa. I designed the overalls a few years ago now and have been selling to farmers and gardeners around New Zealand. These overalls are specially designed with women in mind; they have a zip around the hips and so bathroom breaks are a breeze. We’ve added lots of extras to make them super convenient and just practical? Also they feature knee pad inserts which can be used if you are working in the garden kneeling a lot. They are super comfy and more feminine than the standard work overalls.
All overalls are made with 100% cotton right here in New Zealand.
