Let customers speak for us
I bought my first pair in 2023 in Auckland and I haven't looked back since. They were warm and cozy, protected me well in the chilly winter weather and have been very easy to look after and wash. I've bought at least 6 pairs since for myself and for gifts to my family and friends in the following years. Always excited to pop into the shop to see what new colours are available.
I have bought a couple of these to wear with dress shoes for work.
They are so cozy and warm!
They also have been more durable than other similar socks I bought in the past - no holes despite a lot of wear
I bought the MerinoSilk Classic V-Neck Sweater looking for something timeless yet refined—and it didn’t disappoint. The blend of merino wool and silk makes it incredibly soft, breathable, and just the right weight for layering or wearing on its own. It drapes beautifully and feels far more premium than many sweaters at this price point.
The fit is clean and flattering—tailored but not tight—and the V-neck is subtle enough to stay classy whether you’re dressing it up with a blazer or keeping it casual with jeans. Best of all, it’s a truly versatile piece that transitions effortlessly across seasons and styles.
If you’re building a capsule wardrobe or just want a go-to sweater that looks good every time, this one’s a winner.
I absolutely love my wrap. It feels so luxuriously soft and lightweight and yet is really warm. The design looks even better on than the impression given by the photo and makes me feel special and well turned out when I am wearing it. Highly recommend.
This has been my absolute favorite for so many years! It's super soft and feels amazing on my bare skin, so I usually wear this sweater with just a singlet underneath. It doesn't pill easily, and when it does, I wash it in the washing machine, and it comes out looking fresh again.
The above Kapeka products that I purchased were of fine quality and beautiful. Throughout my process of purchase, the service was prompt, courteous, efficient, and thoughtful.
Thank you very much!
The scarf is perfect! I looked at it last month when we were in New Zealand, I talked myself out of it, then recreated it. I’m so glad I could order it. People have commented on how unique and pretty it is. Thank you so much.
気に入りすぎて色ちがいで買いました。本当は２着目のシルバーはワンサイズ上げて肩回りをさらにだぼっとさせたかったのですが、M(日本サイズL)が売り切れてしまったようです。何年か購入を迷っていましたが買って良かったです。

Excellent customer service when asking about widths, thank you - light, soft and super warm and just enough scarf without looking 'all scarf' when a smaller stature.
Great product, I spend a lot of time behind computer, my hands always get cold and the wrist warmers are so comfy and warm! Bought a few for my friends and family. Highly recommend to survive the winter
My daughter lives in NZ , I’m in the Uk.
I sent her the Kiwi beanie for her birthday today. She absolutely loves it and the alpaca doesn’t irritate her sensitive skin. She needs a warm hat in the South Island!
Now I need to save for the matching scarf, please don’t discontinue it.
i've had a pair these socks for a couple of years but unfortunately lost one sock. had to buy a new pair as winter without these socks is unbearable. they are sooo soft and comfy, improves the quality of life significantly. thanks!!!
I absolutely loved my poncho. It was the perfect cover for any outfit when the temperature dropped. So many tops and dresses have interesting sleeves that are difficult to slip a jacket or jersey over but this fixes that problem. It is cosy and elegant and I'm absolutely gutted that I lost mine.
I am proud to send this perfect beanie to UK , where it is winter and needed. It represents New Zealand in the most perfect way .. quality materials used and native and natural , sustainable, warm , hard wearing .. compact et bijoux.. like New Zealand
