We started MisteR as a New Zealand designed and made boutique menswear label with a distinctive international outlook. In 2011, we launched a women's line & established MisteR as a major player in the NZ Fashion scene.
What kind of clothes do you make?
MisteR's style is an artful collision between the heritage of British tailoring and the experimental fun and quirkiness of Asian fashion. This means we love structured cuts, quality construction and comfortably stylish fit. At MisteR, details reigns supreme and we embrace exuberant colours, bold patterns and quirky touches. Alongside our attention to detail is our commitment to quality and comfort; and to the environment, we have strict guidelines on using only natural fibre fabrics, buttons and linings. We believe every little bit helps when looking after our customers and our planet.
We carefully curate each range and produce limited quantities of hand numbered pieces, which adds exclusivity to each garment. Whilst we are known for our suits, alongside these you'll find shirts, premium denim, knits and tees so you can mix and match to create your own unique look. We believe good fashion is always in style, and our garments are designed to last both stylistically and physically the test of time. MisteR is a platform for you to express your own personal style and celebrate distinctive, individual clothing created with passion and care; which has always been and will always be 'Made in New Zealand'.
Who makes your clothes?
One of our key aspects is we only make our clothes in New Zealand.
We use a number of manufacturers around the country.
Who sells your clothes?
We have a number of stockists around the country & we like to stock our wares at shops who reflect our own ideals.
Can we buy them online?
Yes! We sell online and we have a number of international customers who order via our website.
What price range are your clothes in?
MisteR is in the mid to high price range but we are true believers in 'you get what you paid for'. Our clothing is high-end designer product made from high quality materials & manufactured right here in NZ. We produce very small quantities of each style so therefore you won't see anyone else with yours. You may pay more for NZ-made but, by supporting NZ-made, you're supporting your community and ensuring your money stays here and doesn't go overseas.
Why do you think NZ clothing labels outsource their manufacturing overseas?
Because it's cheaper.
What could the Government do to help clothing labels keep it in NZ?
Give more funding to the "Buy NZ Made" campaign.
Put tariffs back on imported products.
Make it easier to trade overseas with grants and subsidies.
Anything to add?
MisteR loves you! XOXO
