A Thank You, Wrapped in Cashmere
2026 has been our biggest year yet, and we couldn't have done it without you. As a family-run knitting mill on Waiheke Island, we're incredibly proud of what we create with our small team, local hands and such a wonderful community behind us. We're not usually ones to put our best-selling pieces on sale, but this year we wanted to do something special for you.
This Thursday, 12 November, enjoy 30% off our best-selling cashmere T-shirts and long-sleeve tees. As a little thank you, spend over $500 and receive a limited-edition cashmere triangle scarf, as a gift from our family to yours. Every order, kind message and recommendation means so much to us. One tip: We're a micro-factory, so quantities are limited. Browse your favourite colours and sizes, and add them to your cart so you're ready when the sale goes live.
With love, Esme.

CASHMERE & POSSUM
KIWIANA REIMAGINED
A Landscape in Every Stitch
Living on Waiheke, surrounded by nature, we find endless inspiration in the subtropical landscape. Over the past few years, Elisa, our designer, and I have become a true creative team, pushing boundaries both technically and creatively. This collection challenged us to learn new programming techniques in Japan and teach our young team new skills, from linking to knitting and sewing fringing.
We set out to create something beyond traditional, touristy Kiwiana and ended up making the most technically ambitious pieces in Ahipao’s history — closer to wearable art than fashion. I never imagined wearing a garment with a kiwi on it, yet now I wear this cardigan constantly. Cosy, warm, light and breathable, it even has strangers stopping me to ask where it’s from. Over the coming days, I’ll share the story behind each piece.
