Our roots go back even further, to the Maruia Society, a community founded on a simple idea: that people and nature are better off when they look after each other. That affinity for the natural world shapes the products we choose, the materials we work with, and what we put our name to.
From the beginning, we've believed that natural fibres aren't just beautiful—they're better for the people wearing them. Silk, merino, bamboo, linen: materials that have stood the test of time because they genuinely work. They breathe, they last, and they feel good against your skin. We've never found any reason to look elsewhere.
More than two decades on, New Zealand Nature is still locally owned and operated out of Nelson, offering the highest quality natural fibres we can find with the same care and conviction.
If you've been with us for years, thank you. If you're new here, welcome. We're glad you found us.
Let us assist you
Choosing natural fibres isn't always obvious. Merino or possum merino, which weight suits your winters, how a knit will sit on you, how to wash something so it lasts another decade — these are fair questions, and we'd rather you asked than guessed.
The guides below cover most of it. For anything else, our team is in Nelson and easy to reach.
