BONZ History
From Our Hands, Through Generations.
BONZ
Founded in 1972 in the South Island of New Zealand, BONZ was born of a singular vision: to craft exceptional garments from the finest natural materials. Our original factory—still in operation today—stands as the world’s southernmost luxury atelier, a testament to our deep roots and lasting commitment to artisanal excellence. From this distinctive corner of the world, BONZ continues to design and produce garments with integrity, sophistication, and a profound connection to place.
We opened our first boutique in Queenstown, New Zealand, where BONZ has become known for refined, enduring design and sustainable production. As a family-owned business, we remain dedicated to thoughtful, small-scale manufacturing—honouring tradition while shaping a more conscious future in fashion.
