About Possum fibre

The possum is a native of Australia, but once released into the New Zealand forests with no natural predators they became and still are a major pest causing enormous damage to our native forests and fruit tree's and transmitting diseases to our farm animals.

An extensive control program to keep the possum population from reaching disasterous numbers ensures a continuing supply of possum fibre.
The unique soft pointed ends and hollow core of possum fur provides an extremely light, soft and luxurious fibre. It is one of the warmest and most beautiful to the touch. Even the lightest possum product will keep the wearer warm, without being bulky.
It has become a high fashion product for both men and women.

Once you have had a possum/wool garment at this quality you will want another. Some of our customers in our shop, Nouvelle, have bought 2-3 of the same style because they have enjoyed them so much. Possum/wool garments are to be recommended when travelling because they are so light weight but yet so warm.

Our 40% possum blend with merino wool can be safely washed using cold/cool, gentle machine cycles and a slow spin. Dry flat. Ensure you have plenty of space for it to move in the machine as tangling can stretch the product.
