Precious Collaborative with Liz MitchellA new way of thinking about fashion, both making it and wearing it, and our part in this amazing collaboration.
Here at McLean & Co. we love working with people,
bringing their ideas for unique, limited edition fashion
or interior design textiles to fruition.

Over the years we have collaborated with many wonderful partners to make unique, artisan products that are ethical, sustainable and timeless. We also supply a select number of retail outlets and interior designers. We are not able to wholesale our textiles, but do offer trade discounts to businesses who share our values, and of course, our love of hand crafted woollen wares.
Please contact us to discuss your ideas, as whether they go ahead or not, we are happy to share our knowledge and skills
We collaborate with ...
New Zealand wool growers who work hard to grow quality fleece and want to create a textile legacy for family and friends, or to retail.
Fashion designers who are tired of imported massed produced fast fashion and want to showcase NZ wool that has been locally grown, processed and woven sustainably and ethically.
Interior designers who are seeking something 'real' to share with their clients - quality textiles that are locally produced, and are different to what everyone else has.
Homeowners who love the qualities of wool, and want textiles that hug them in their homes.
