Nina's Knits

Woollen Textiles Made In Aotearoa

Phillipa Gee is the creative force behind Nina’s Knits, a collection inspired by and dedicated to her grandmother Nina’s legacy.

Working on a manually operated knitting machine dating from the 1970s, Phillipa transforms soft, luxurious yarns into intricate, wearable pieces that honour both heritage and innovation. Each piece is shaped through a process that draws on generations of knitting tradition while embracing a contemporary design sensibility. The rhythmic, hands-on nature of the machine allows her to create textiles rich in texture, colour, and detail, resulting in pieces that carry stories of memory, craftsmanship, and connection. Through her work, familiar techniques are reimagined for modern life, creating knitwear that is both timeless and deeply personal.
