Our aim is always to ensure that our clothing is super safe for your little ones. That's why we've just tested our merino fabrics in accordance with Standard: AS/NZS 1249:2003 Children’s nightwear and limited daywear having reduced fire hazard.
This new regulation came into force on 1st April 2009.
We tested all our fabrics (plain, stripe and thicker weight) and all 3 have easily passed the test and fit into Category 1 (all test results are twice as safe as required to meet Category 1).
Which means that not only are our products safe, but our current labeling is also sufficient to meet the new regulations.
Merino fabric is naturally fire retardant.

Ultimately not all merino is created equal and we want only THE BEST for both parent and baby - mokopuna merino™ has superior whiteness, superior strength, improved spinning performance and low levels of contamination. We know you'll appreciate the softness next to baby's skin.
We receive lots of feedback from satisfied customers but the following from a mother in Southland, NZ particuarly captured our attention and we wanted to share it with you.....
“...the wrapsuits are a wonderful product. The fabric wears extremely well and I would expect mokopuna outfits to easily last more than one baby.....I have dispensed with buying other clothing brands and now own large amounts of mokopuna. The garments have passed the baby test which suprisingly many other companies do not.”..
“...I just love the functionality of the mokopuna range.... mokopuna has the only garments I have tried that are really functional and all mums love baby items that perfom as they should. The main drawcard I have found is the fabric's wearability. It handles milk and food dribble and leaky nappies without staining, AND after all this still looks as good as new. It also washes and dries like a dream. The sizing and fit is generous and ensures the garment lasts. In a nutshell they are baby clothes that will last more than one child which is absolutely ideal.”
