Cardigans & Vests
Shop women's cardigans and vests in New Zealand, knitted from merino wool, merino possum and alpaca. A good cardigan is the most versatile piece in any wardrobe, easy to button up on a cool morning and just as easy to slip off when the day warms up. Knitted vests add a layer of warmth to the body while leaving your arms free, perfect over a shirt or under a jacket.
Our range features trusted labels including Lothlorian, McDonald, Noble Wilde, Native World, Bay Road Merino, Royal Merino, Koru and Country Laine. You will find classic button cardigans, zip-front styles, longline and edge-to-edge shapes, along with crew neck, V neck and ribbed wool vests.
Fibre is the key difference. Merino cardigans are fine, smooth and breathable, ideal for layering and office wear. Merino possum styles are noticeably warmer and softer with a light halo, a favourite for winter. Alpaca vests and cardigans feel silky and suit sensitive skin.
When buying, think about length and closure. Hip-length cardigans pair well with dresses and skirts, while longer styles suit leggings and trousers. Pockets add practicality, and a zip front gives a more sporty look. Knitwear generally has some stretch, so if you plan to layer over thicker tops, consider sizing up.
