FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is paua shell and why is it used?
Paua is a species of abalone found only in New Zealand, known for its strikingly iridescent blue-green shell. The paua shell buttons are a distinctly NZ design element celebrating the country's natural heritage.
Is the Paua Shell Cardigan suitable for formal occasions?
It is best suited to smart-casual settings. Its luxurious feel and distinctive button detail elevate it above everyday knitwear while retaining casual comfort.
How should I care for this garment?
Hand wash cold or machine wash on a delicate/wool cycle with wool detergent. Do not wring. Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight or heat. Do not tumble dry.
Is the Possum fibre ethically sourced?
Yes. Brushtail possums are an introduced pest species in New Zealand and are controlled under government-sanctioned programmes to protect native wildlife. The possum fibre used in Native World products is a by-product of these conservation efforts.
