Decades of Expertise

We have been crafting New Zealand made luxury knitwear for over 27 years. Founded by Peter Hanson, when opportunity was seen to bring together the excellence of New Zealand manufacturing, its natural fibres and experienced design. Kapeka focusses on luxury knitwear with unique blends that harness the fibres, innovations, skills and stories of New Zealand. Our heritage is championed through the manufacturing, designs and colours of every Kapeka garment.


 Our head designer, Bridget Morgan has thorough knowledge on procurement of fine, low micron, quality fibre, the blending of fibres to make it superior and the design to ensure unique, elegant style with a comfortable fit, all of which is sustainably sourced and made.
