The Good Shopping Handbook

New Zealand Nature

The Maruia catalogue, as part of the Maruia Society, started in the 1990s with a small number of environmental products providing customers with sustainable solutions. Today, although much larger, we continue to focus upon offering products with an emphasis on sustainability. We continue to support Maruia under its present name, the Ecologic Foundation. Our products include superfine merino and possum merino clothing, sheepskin footwear and a range of New Zealand made, highest quality natural health products such as manuka honey, deer velvet, propolis and royal jelly. And for the summer, natural insect repellent, sting relief and sunscreen too! We have a wide range of eco-friendly bamboo viscose clothing with certifications including Sun Smart 50+ and Oeko-Tex 100 (Class 1), the internationally accepted standard for the testing of residues from harmful substances. Class 1 is the highest grade, suitable for babywear. It’s a wonderful fabric and an alternative to cotton which uses lots of pesticides and water to grow. You can even design your own sheepskin boots at our new website www.designaboot.com
