Move over cashmere – possum fur is here to stay. Luxury garments using this soft and cozy fibre have gained traction over the years. In fact, you should be able to find them in various New Zealand souvenir outlets and specialist stores. If you’re gearing up for a Wellington shopping spree, here are some of the best places to buy possum apparel.

New Zealand Souvenir Factory

The New Zealand Souvenir Factory is located in Miramar, within a five-minute drive from Wellington Airport. Part of the store’s appeal is that it offers a large assortment of Kiwi products for all tastes and prices, ranging from inexpensive nick-knacks to top quality gift items. Possum fur is very much a part of the equation – you’ll find Koru Knitwear garments, among other product ranges.
