How many outworkers/workers do you employ a season to create a seasonal collection?
We work with around six different factories all based in New Zealand. Auckland, Hawkes Bay, Christchurch and Dunedin, they are all chosen to produce different qualities within the collection, whether that’s knitwear, t-shirting etc.
How many hours of work goes into a creating a New-Zealand made product?
It is very varied! It depends on what type of garment you mean; a t-shirt to sew may take 30 minutes however to stencil print it and process it would take another hour. A Tailored Coat which is very hands on first needs to be cut and then it would take two days to sew.
