What kind of clothes do you make?
Gemma Ltd has two labels: our women's wear label, Gemma and our maternity label, Gem Maternity. Our aim is to provide women with gorgeous NZ-made clothing that makes them feel confident and look amazing. We started our maternity label in wake of myself & a lot of our regular customers having babies, and wanting gorgeous preggy clothes to wear!
Who makes your clothes?
We do everything in our workroom from designing, patter making, cutting, sewing to finishing. And that's exactly how we love it!
Who sells your clothes? Can we buy them online?
We have our own online store on our website! We also have a couple of stockists on our website.
What price range are your clothes in?
$35 - $219.
Why do you think NZ clothing labels outsource their manufacturing overseas?
It's a hard balance to get. You want to support NZ-made but you also don't want your customers to have to pay the earth for your garments... the cost is the main factor, I believe.
Anything to add?
For small companies, CMT companies can work out very expensive. I would love to see more outworkers start their own business at home! I would choose an outworker to do my sewing over a CMT company any day! Nothing like supporting people trying to make a living from their own home!
awesome! lovely pic gem!
