Our Story

The Genesis of Hello Possums
Welcome to Hello Possums, your gateway to the unparalleled warmth and comfort of New Zealand’s finest winter apparel. Our journey began with a simple yet profound idea: to bring the unique, luxurious softness of possum down and merino wool blend to the UK, offering a line of winter accessories that provide exceptional warmth and style.

From New Zealand to the UK

Originally from New Zealand, our founder Sarah has always had a deep appreciation for the natural wonders and innovative textiles of her homeland. After relocating to the UK inspired by the chilly British winters, she saw an opportunity to introduce the UK to the extraordinary warmth and comfort of possum down and merino wool. Thus, Hello Possums was born, a brand rooted in the rich heritage of New Zealand and dedicated to enhancing the winter experience in her new home.

The Magic of Possum Fur and Merino Wool

At Hello Possums, we specialise in winter apparel and accessories crafted from an exquisite blend of possum down and merino wool. This combination creates a fabric that is not only incredibly soft and luxurious but also exceptionally warm and durable. Possum down, with its hollow fibres, provides superior insulation and lightweight warmth, while merino wool adds softness, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties. Together, they form a unique material that is perfect for braving the coldest winters in style and comfort.

Our Commitment to Quality

We are dedicated to bringing you the highest quality products. Each item in our collection is carefully designed and expertly crafted to ensure maximum comfort and durability. We work closely with skilled artisans in New Zealand who share our commitment to excellence, sustainability, and ethical practices. Our products are made with respect for nature,
ensuring that every piece not only feels good but also aligns with our values of environmental stewardship.

Embracing the Cozy Lifestyle

Hello Possums is more than just a brand; it's a lifestyle. We believe in embracing the cozy moments that winter brings, whether it’s wrapping yourself in a sumptuous scarf, donning a snug beanie, or slipping on a pair of luxuriously warm gloves. Our accessories are designed to enhance your winter experience, making every outing, every adventure, and every quiet moment by the fire even more enjoyable.
