Mo Cullen Shirtsmith
We are a boutique men's shirt business, specialising in Kiwiana prints, Hawaiian and retro prints.
Mo Cullen has an eye for picking quirky and colourful prints
and uses natural fibres and NZ products wherever possible. Mo Cullen
shirts are all made from 100% shirt weight cotton with buttons made from
coconut husks. Many of the prints are uniquely New Zealand, harking
back to the nostalgia of summer holidays spent at campgrounds,
Pohutukawas in full bloom, Tui's, fantails flitting around the good old kiwi bach.
Mo Cullen shirts are constructed just north of Auckland, at her
workroom in Mahurangi West. A team of very talented individuals are
her 'engine room'. Mo is very proud of the fact that they are a
high quality, New Zealand made product, and no shirt leaves the workroom
without the once over from Mo herself. These shirts are built to last from the finest cottons, and when looked after well, her customers are still wearing shirts they have purchased 5 years ago. Some of her customers include a few ", including.. Sir Graham Henry, Sir Peter Leitch, and a handful of other TV Personalities.
It would be safe to say this business would be one of the last onshore shirtmaking businesses in NZ
