Little Yellow Bird
"I have their long sleeve and short sleeve t-shirts and absolutely love them. The weight is awesome and the last for ages. Plus massive bonus that it’s all sustainably made and the being able to take them back for a full circular apparel system is mindblowingly epic! Buy their stuff!"
BART DE VRIES - LIMBER
"We’re all about supporting other small local sustainable businesses. LYB seemed like the obvious choice for us because their workwear is ethically made, sustainably sourced and we can send back our aprons to be recycled into new fibres! How cool is that!”
DUCK ISLAND ICE CREAM
"Re-using and upcycling is an awesome way of moving to the circular economy we all need to model. At Commonsense we hate to see waste but we also like to present as a clean, tidy and professional workforce so we have to retire old uniforms more often than we would like. Knowing that there is a way for the fabric to become useful again is a fantastic initiative to help us avoid landfill waste.”
COMMON SENSE ORGANICS
"We chose Little Yellow Bird because they are the best! It's important for us to consider how something is made, because that is how it is perceived. Baron Hasselhoff is a craft-focused company, the art is important. Ethics are important!"

AWESOME TEE
"Love the Little Yellow Bird kaupapa, proof that you can produce quality clothing that is sustainable and ethical. Keep up the awesome work."
SHARRON KANE
"For us, the hardest part of making a garment is what to do at the end. We believe that we should be accountable for each and every garment that we produce — not only that every item is ethically and sustainably made, but also that we are not contributing towards the huge volume of clothing that will eventually end up in landfill. Circular Cotton is the ideal solution to this. By working with garments that are mindfully created from natural fibres, this initiative ensures that every ReCreate piece can be broken down, fully recycled, and come back again as a brand-new textile. We love being a part of it!"
ERICA GADSBY, RECREATE CLOTHING
"This company is leading the way in ethical, environmentally sustainable clothing that looks fantastic and feels amazing to wear. It is of high quality construction and built to last - I can personally attest it stands up well to a rough life. With very reasonable pricing and completely plastic-free (including delivery packaging! ) it's worth trying if you haven't already, you won't be disappointed."
LISA HENDERSON
"I love this tee. Great shape, great quality. Love the scoop neck. I wish I had got more than one :)"
BETH
"We love using these for our staff t-shirts at Raglan Food Co, with our logo and brand design printed on them by Little Yellow Bird. Really comfortable, good quality, long-lasting tees. Happy to recommend to other businesses wanting to get branded t-shirts. Love working with a local company who put ethics into every aspect of their business."
TESH RANDALL, RAGLAND FOOD CO.
"These wee trousers are very special and even better than I expected. They are a gift for a family member and it feels meaningful enough with Ruby’s thoughtful design plus Little Yellow Bird’s philosophy to give as a first present to a baby. Very happy!"
ANNIE
"Lovely organic cotton feels so comfortable and this design is so much fun! So pleased I can purchase local and ethical clothing that looks great."
MERYTH
"LYB t-shirts and sloth pants are an absolute fav for my non-binary kid. I love that they are wearing and loving ethical fashion that is inclusive, fun and doesn't pander to gender stereotypes."
SARAH CRONAN
"Little Yellow Bird is awesome. They offer some FAIR TRADE, ORGANIC clothing, SHIPPED PLASTIC FREE and at a really reasonable price. I consider them as a role model for other clothing companies and would give 1000 stars for that if I could. They offer basic tees and uniforms and release specials once and a while. Moreover, their customer service is second to none. I have asked them a few times to provide exact measurements, since my body has rather non-standard proportions and they have always been super quick and helpful. This enables me to check if an item is right for me before I put in an order. THANK YOU LYB!!!"
ANKE FRONIUS
A top quality product and an ethically minded business creating great impact in the world. What else could you want?! We get t-shirts printed for all our new staff and everyone loves the LYB organic cotton feel. We love supporting such a great local business.
RENEE OLSEN
“As always LYB clothing is of such a high quality and the prints look great - we're super stoked!"
FROTH TECH
"It was a no-brainer really. On top of the excellent quality (and exceptional service), as a fellow Wellington-based ethical brand, we want to support companies using business as a force for good."
