Keeping things quality, NZ-made and functional.
Track building, riding and racing. (My wife Katy is the racer.)
Who makes your clothes?
We use two of New Zealand's best manufacturers; doing this means we can guarantee our gear 100%!!
Who sells your clothes? Can we buy them online?
We sell them online and we have 2 retail outlets: the first being Basic Bikes (148 Colombo Street, Beckenham, Christchurch) and the other being our bike rental and repair shop (18 Conical Hill Road, Hamner Springs).
What price range are your clothes in?
Our clothes are in the $80 to $190 bracket.
Why do you think NZ clothing labels outsource their manufacturing overseas?
Margins and survival.
What could the Government do to help clothing labels keep it in NZ?
Put higher tariffs and duties on imported goods. It's as simple as that; if the imported stuff costs more, people will keep buying NZ-made. At the moment, we make a third of what we could make if the clothes were made offshore. We are prepared to do this but it's not good business sense.
Anything to add?
Please buy NZ-made before it's too late.
