The Buy NZ organisation which aims to promote the Businesses behind New Zealand made products have launched a lovely new site for people to find products and businesses that are genuinely Made in New Zealand. We are proud to be listed among them and are one of the few Companies making textile products for the home. We do it because we like to keep things simple. I like to know who is making my product and I like to make sure every single item is made well and that when you purchase it there is a whole community that is supported, right here in our neighbourhood. Here's the link to the BUYNZ Marketplace.
