ABOUT US
Duckewe is a local eco-friendly clothing company in Christchurch. We specialise in designing high quality t-shirts that look great and do great for the planet, too. Our mission is to remove plastic from the textile industry, we do this by designing a range of 100% cotton and 100% organic cotton clothing options, removing unnecessary plastic tags and packaging.
Everything made by Duckewe has been designed from scratch in Christchurch, right down to the custom stitching patterns. Our clothing features prints from New Zealand artists and we work local at every stage we can. Our clothing is manufactured overseas to bring you the best possible prices for high quality cotton goods, made ethically and sustainably.
Duckewe margins are smaller than other companies because the cost of high quality organic cotton is much more expensive than plastic-based polyester clothing. To stop major clothing brands from using polyester, we need consumers to stop buying it - always check the labels.
In the last five years, Duckewe is proud to have helped raise over $100,000 for skateboarding in New Zealand. We host a national annual skateboarding event each summer alongside events for youth in Canterbury across the year. These are all volunteer driven and a huge thanks is due to the incredibly supportive and hard working local skate community.
Duckewe is an active member of the open-water swim community in Christchurch and supports the Fit and Abel summer swim series each year with custom designed clothing as prizes.
We also run market stalls, release short-run collabs with local artists, host art exhibits and offer a range of blank garments for local businesses.
