Wellington-based Natty is the home of a stunning range of beautiful hand painted rimu jewellery, screen printed textiles and illustrated stationery. Inspired by Aotearoa’s nature and featuring a quirky sense of humour, Natty products use 100% cotton, ethically sourced tea towels, pillow cases and tote bags and non toxic water based inks.
Artist Holly Roach is inspired by her interest in mid century fabric design and art, and she also has a love of iconic Aotearoa birds and their surroundings. These things are stunningly combined in her art, which she reproduces in a variety of striking paper and textile formats.
Adrienne Mulqueen of Adrienne’s Loom has been weaving since 1979. She loved it from the moment she threw her first weft, immediately feeling she wanted to do nothing else but weave. Life has taken her in different directions over the years but it has now allowed her to return to her looms. Adrienne is passionate about producing textiles that people will enjoy using – she’d really rather you didn’t tuck her creations away for “best”!
Big love from the bird. 🙂 This gorgeous tui is hand screen printed on a 100% cotton, natural unbleached ethically-sourced tea towel, in either yellow, blue, green or pink water based, non toxic ink by Wellington makers Natty. Awesome stuff! Get yours now…
Adrienne Mulqueen first tried her hand at weaving in Nelson in 1979. In 2018 she is making beautiful kitchen and hand towels for everyday use, the result of a collaboration with fellow Dunedin weaver Christine Keller.

I Feel Natty is a collaboration between friends Fiona Gibb and Cat Mckay, and this year they have taken the leap and are dedicating themselves full time to the business! Although it sometimes feels a little scary, they say it has been a gradual process and they really appreciate how lucky they are that they can work for themselves, doing something they love.
Situated as we are in the new Felt headquarters, we have a lovely view of the Avon river winding its way through Christchurch’s central business district. It was a lovely surprise this morning to spot a kingfisher keeping mindful watch over the water from a sunny spot in a nearby tree, and it inspired a spirited discussion in the office.
