Since Kate Macdonald started completely made-in-New Zealand clothing brand Davaar & Co on her family’s Te Ānau station in 2022, it has become synonymous with timeless elegance and modern comfort. Haehaenui Arrowtown locals Nadine Conway, Mandy Erksine and Jeremy Railton showcase their own styles while modelling Davaar’s collection of wool jerseys.
