Alternatively, gift cards can be scheduled to be sent to a recipient, this is done by selecting the 'I want to send this as a gift' option. Scheduled gift cards are sent approximately between 4am and 10am of the purchaser's timezone, and fallbacks to the New Zealand timezone if unknown.

Should you lose an issued E-gift card, please contact customer support so we can re-send it to you.
Please note:
- Gift cards are denominated in NZD (New Zealand Dollars) and can be purchased and redeemed by customers in their local currency. However, please note that if you purchase a gift card in a currency other than NZD, the balance of your gift card may be subject to change due to fluctuations in the exchange rate at the time of redemption.
I have a E-Gift Card and a discount code, how do I use them?
You can usually use both a e-gift card and a discount code in a single order, depending on the discount code's conditions. Simply enter the code or gift card number (or both) into the code field on the checkout page.
Please note that some discount codes may not apply to the purchase of e-gift cards.
Can a E-Gift Card be used more than once?
Yes, an e-gift card can be used multiple times as long as there is a remaining balance.
Product
Where are your products made?
We proudly make 100% of our collection right here in New Zealand. With all of that created in our own workrooms, our supply chain is simple and transparent.
Where can I find sizing information?
To find your size for Merinomink clothing, we recommend referring to our comprehensive size chart available on each product page on our website.
If your measurements fall between two sizes, we recommend considering your personal preference for a fitted or relaxed fit. You can also refer to the product's specific fit notes or contact customer support for assistance in selecting the best size for you.
How do I wash my Merinomink garment?
- Washing: Use cool water and a detergent specifically designed for wool or silk. Avoid regular laundry detergents as they can damage these natural fabrics.
- Rinsing: After washing, gently squeeze out excess water. Avoid wringing or twisting to maintain the garment's shape.
- Drying: Lay the garment flat on a towel, ensuring it's free of wrinkles or folds. Allow it to dry completely before moving.

We can handle a wide range of repairs, including fixing seams and replacing buttons or zippers, patching small holes. Our skilled team of artisans and technicians will do their best to restore your item to its original condition.
There may be a charge for our mending and repair service. The cost will depend on the nature of the repair, the materials required, and the complexity of the work. Our staff will assess the repair needs and provide you with an estimate of the associated costs before proceeding. Faulty garments are repaired free of charge.
