McDonald New Zealand Knitwear

At McDonald New Zealand we combine meticulous care and sophisticated style to ensure our distinctive garments will give wear for many years to come. Our garments are crafted using only the finest Natural Fibres - Possum Fur, Merino Wool and Mulberry Silk. Making the most of these incredible raw materials not only allows us to create garments that are stylish, but helps protect New Zealand’s precious natural environment.

Our exquisite collection of undyed babywear celebrates the pure essence of New Zealand's high country heritage. Each garment is meticulously crafted from fine merino wool, sourced exclusively from Philippa Cameron's treasured flock of 200 black merino sheep grazing the pristine pastures of Ōtemātātā Station. This exceptional fibre embodies nature's own perfection—inherently soft, breathable, and sustainable.

Free from chemical dyes, each knit retains the wool's authentic natural hue. The remarkable properties of merino make it perfect for baby's delicate skin, offering gentle temperature regulation and cloud-like comfort through every season. Every piece in our collection is knitted within our Aotearoa workroom, where traditional craftsmanship meets innovative seamless construction to eliminate any potential irritation for even the most sensitive skin. Offered as individual pieces or as a thoughtfully created gift bundle—each garment an enduring keepsake that weaves together your child's story with the timeless majesty of New Zealand’s southern landscapes.
