Cruising on the Voyager of the Seas to New Zealand in late January with Napier, Wellington, Picton, and Dunedin being our ports of call. Can anyone please advise where I could purchase possum fur and merino wool wraps and clothing at any of these ports?

I am surprised you are not going to Tauranga as this is the best place to get these products

I could go made buying here (and have been known too:eek::D)

 

Or Dunedin

This shop does not have a web page but this is where I have had a big spend! :o

Wellington will give you some shopping options too, with the port within easy distance of the downtown. Icebreaker is New Zealand's premium outdoor merino brand - Gordon's Outdoor at the bottom of Cuba St has a dedicated store. For the more fashion/leisure I'd suggest Te Papa's store, Kirkcaldie & Stain department store, Sommerfields near the Cable Car on Lambton Quay and Simply New Zealand opposite the InterContinental Hotel.

Great souvenirs - nice and light and with the possum, you're doing our environment a favour as well! If you want to find out why possums are such a problem for New Zealand, take a 10 minute trip up to Zealandia - they explain it really well!

We picked up a jumper in Wellington...we were just walking down the main road dodging the rain....(our plans changed with the rain) and spotted the shop across the road....it looked like a short lease type shop.. great prices and helpful staff....hubby got a xxl with generous length on the sleeves. ...and body which are so hard to find..

I just love my possum jumper which I got in a small town in the Sth Island. So light and warm! I will splurge and get another one here in Sydney if I can find one. I do not buy clothes online as even when I pick them to try on in a store, about 4 out of 5 are all wrong!
