Rossi McCabe – Black pounamu
Black pounamu breastplate by Rossi MacCabe $750
Rossi McCabe popped in earlier this week with some stunning black pounamu he has been working on. We have two breastplates depicting the separation of Rangi and Papa. Ross is from the Hokianga and has been working with stone for the last ten years, his distinctive style is always in demand and these breastplates show a new direction we think is just wicked!

The Fabric of Society
Believe it or not, Summer is arriving in store now! We have our first few Standard Issue goodies on the racks.
Standard Issue was borne of a love for quality yarn, beautiful cut and careful manufacture.
The Standard Issue aesthetic is strong and simple.
Made in New Zealand to support local industry. Derived from the land using environmentally friendly, metallic free dyes.
Natural yarns such as merino and cashmere breathe with the body. This means they form a microclimate around your body to keep you warm in cool weather and cool in warm weather. New Zealand merino is widely lauded for its strength and versatility. Naturally dirt and water resistant, it creates clothing that is functional and warm. New Zealand’s lush pastures allow our sheep to grow naturally strong wool, which is spun together to create yarn with superior durability.
Coulthard dresses
Paula Coulthard’s designs work so well here at Native Agent. All of her work has a ‘strong interest in history and art, COULTHARD endeavors to capture the pioneering spirit and rugged beauty of New Zealand and its people.’
From her beautiful woolen coats made vintage blankets to these simple silk dresses, all of her designs are timeless and will be loved and worn for years to come.
Native Agent loves Bob Macdonald
A little while ago we covered a couple of couches designed by the very talented Bob Macdonald. We thought they were so cool we had to share the images with you. We love collaborating with our mates, it always has unexpected spin offs. Bob makes exceptional contemporary furniture out of his workshop in Morningside, we can order any of his range through the store covered in the upholstery of your choice.
Cushions
Here is a nest of cushions we lugged along for a ride to the weka for an outing. More are being made every day so pop into Kingsland to see whats new!
Winter Wekaweka
A couple of years ago we convinced our mate David Shields to come up to our papakainga in the Hokianga. It hailed and rained the whole time we were there, but we got some great shots! We have been trying to get him back ever since. I think we may plan another mish before the end of winter this year.
