Le Bon Shoppe
Sales & Distribution in New Zealand
On winter’s eve, in a little apartment in the Arts District of LA, Le Bon Shoppe was conceived over good food and conversation between two old friends. They met while working together and have many years of experience in the fashion industry.

Mauna Kea
Sales & Distribution in New Zealand
Mauna Kea creates superior socks for best dressed people. Nobody puts a humble sock together quite like these guys. Made in Nara, Japan, They use antique tubular knitting machines, which results in a strong and flexible knit with very minimal stitching. The best news is - they miraculously mould to fit a pair of feet perfectly and also hold their shape after a bit of rough and tumble in the washing machine. All socks are made from the very strategic combination of hemp and cotton - to absorb sweat, stay fresh and ultimately last longer than a conventional pair of socks.
CAHU

Based in Paris, CAHU (pronounced “KA-EW”) is a line of designer bags and high-end PVC accessories. The PVC fabric used is inherited from the family bouncy castle factory where the designer Clémence Cahu spent her childhood.

Muskhane
Sales & Distribution in New Zealand
It was on a mission to Kathmandu for Handicap International that Thierry and Valérie discovered Nepal and the Himalayan region. The couple decided to suggest a project to the association: they would carry out a study to equitable commerce in the Himalayan region. This led them into contact and dialogue with artisans of the valley of Kathmandu - some of whom were to become their suppliers. Together, with their desire to develop a stronger local economy and to celebrate the exceptional artisan craftwork of the region - Muskhane was created in 2003.
Muskhane creates felted items you never knew you needed. All products are handmade in the workshops in Kathmandu Valley and are composed entirely of natural, renewable materials. The working of these natural fibres is the special expertise of Nepalese artisans. The quality of the wool, the attention to detail and the care that goes into Muskhane products bring forth their line of unique and lovely objects.
Based in Wellington, New Zealand - Good As Gold Sales & Distribution director Ashlee Bryant has extensive experience working in the fashion retail space, having partnered with and successfully grown numerous international brands throughout New Zealand and Australia since 2004.
