A Sweater to Get Out of Bed For

When most people picture knitting, it’s a cozy scene: a rocking chair by the fire and a much‑loved grandparent clicking away at the needles. Sweet, yes — but that old memory can make knitwear seem scratchy, dated, and a bit… stiff. At NZ Charly, I wanted to rewrite that story.

I blend the warmth and nostalgia of classic knits with modern, low‑waste making. By sourcing buttery‑soft natural fibres and using a seamless, zero‑waste knitting process, I create pieces that feel as comforting as your favourite blanket — but look polished enough to take on the day.

From “Ugh, Monday” to “Ooh, Knit”

We’ve all had those weeks where getting dressed feels like one more task. I’ve been there too. That’s why I design knitwear that brings a little joy back to the everyday — pieces that are soft on the skin, effortless to style, and special enough to lift your mood.

Keepsake Knits, Made to Last

I’m a big believer in keepsake sweaters — the kind that hold memories. I draw inspiration from travels, favourite places, and quiet moments that make life feel full. Each NZ Charly colour and silhouette is designed to carry that feeling forward: calm, considered, and quietly special.

Thoughtfully Made in Aotearoa

• Natural luxury fibres: Merino, possum down, cashmere and silk — for cloud‑soft warmth with breathability.
• Seamless, low‑waste knitting: Entire garments are engineered on‑machine, reducing cut‑off waste.
• Small‑batch quality: Designed and made locally with careful finishing.

Getting dressed should feel good. If a knit can make you smile before coffee — that’s a win. Explore the pieces designed to do exactly that.
