Ponchos, Capes & Wraps
Shop women's ponchos, capes and wraps in New Zealand made from merino wool, merino possum and alpaca. A poncho or wrap is the easiest layer you will own: throw it over a tee, a dress or a light jumper and you have instant warmth without the fuss of sleeves and buttons. Our range brings together trusted New Zealand knitwear labels including Lothlorian, Koru, McDonald, Native World and Noble Wilde.
Each style drapes a little differently. Ponchos pull on over the head and sit evenly all round, capes fasten at the front and give a more tailored shape, and wraps can be worn as a scarf, a shawl or a light cover-up. Merino possum ponchos are the warmest option for winter, trapping heat in the hollow possum fibre while staying light on the shoulders. Alpaca and cotton blends suit milder days and travel.
When choosing, think about how you will wear it. A zip or button front is easier over a coat, while a one-size poncho is forgiving on fit and makes a thoughtful gift. Neutral tones such as oatmeal, charcoal and navy work with everything; a bolder colour turns a simple outfit into a statement. Hand wash cool and dry flat to keep your merino wool poncho looking its best for years.
