The Story of MOA

Moa, the brand started in the early 1990's and was created 'down under' by down to earth people for those seeking clothing with a difference, while keeping with the needs of the ever changing environmental conditions.

10 years on, the Moa design team are listening to its customer's needs and wants and creating fashionable, trendy, casual apparel of excellent value and quality.

The name Moa comes from a native New Zealand bird that was two legged, flightless and stood over 6 feet (2 metres) tall and was common on the eastern side of the South Island, where we as a company are based. Unfortunately in the 1800's as the settlers arrived, the Moa struggled to evolve and is now extinct.

Of the extinct birds in New Zealand, there is none which appeals to the imagination so much as the gigantic wingless bird known as the Moa, and as a brand we believe that 'Moa' appeals to the imagination, the needs and the desires of our customers.

We have created a natural - high performance clothing system with a fresh set of ideas based on resect for nature and sustainability using a variety of different fabrics and technologies.

Moa is dedicated to producing high quality men's and women's designer casual and active wear and will continue to for many years to come.

As a company we are committed to internal evolution and are actively seeking fresh ideas, styles and fabrics. We have a  long way to go, but it is an exciting journey and we are thankful that you are a part of it.
