What we do... |
 |
"Just Jussi knits the
baby clothes that you would make if you had the time..."
At Just Jussi - we hand-make gorgeous heirloom quality knitwear for babies, using
the finest organic merino, superwash wool, cashmere, cotton and silk
blends.
Our baby clothes are designed and made in New Zealand, a land
with a clean, green image and a tradition of stunning woollen knitwear. No mass
production, no sweatshop labour, just hours of dedication to each tiny garment.
Baby's needs are foremost in our designs -
the smaller sizes have shorter sleeves and legs, as babies pull their legs and
arms up and in, and all garments have wider armholes and necks
- to avoid dressing trauma for parents and babe.
Shop in the comfort of your home using our secure shopping
cart.

Just Jussi has grown to a point where some
decisions need to be made... I can't meet the level of demand myself and do not
want to outsource overseas.
I have been wrangling with a moral dilemma for a while now. I can grow my business and produce more garments, but in order
to do that I will have to follow my contemporaries in this business and employ
knitters as "self-employed contractors".
These people (often elderly or those who live alone) end up
being paid $1.00 to $5.00 an hour - yes even in a 1st world country like New
Zealand. I regard this as sweatshop labour and refuse to be part of it. I
understand that these people agree to these rates, however I still cannot accept
it as anything less than exploitation.
I will not pay these rates, and therefore cannot compete
with those who do. I have decided to continue creating patterns for sale, and
selling garments to a couple of small shops and by commission, I have left some
styles on this website for sale, however if you wish to purchase a garment which
does not have a "buy now" button please send me an email with the details and I
will contact you.
thank you
