The Waitaki collection is here ... telling a story of people, time and place ...

Here's how you can be part of the Waitaki tartan story too ...

Shop here or at CRAFTED: Waitaki Artisan Gallery, 3 Harbour Street, Oamaru, New Zealand.

McLean & Co. online store will be closed from 23 December until 7 January 2026. You can still order online, but orders won't be dispatched until then.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us this year.

Wishing you all a very happy and safe Christmas and New Year.

threads of Waitaki history

Telling others' stories with respect and integrity is complex on a number of levels.
We believe the stories we are telling on behalf of those who came before us
will both refine and expand as we learn more.
Sharing the stories of Waitaki is an honour.
We are so very grateful.

Waitaki - "weeping waters"

wai = "water", taki = "to weep, mourn"
