Ākina Impact Supplier: Kind Face
Meet Kind Face, one of the Ākina Certified Impact Suppliers. Impact Suppliers are organisations that deliver a range of positive social, environmental, and cultural outcomes through selling their products and services.
What began as producing necessities (creating quality linen face masks during Covid) has evolved into a specialised commercial sewing business in Avondale, fiercely passionate about making beautiful products here in New Zealand from premium natural materials which revitalise people with better sleep, greater relaxation, and improved comfort.
Kind Face specializes in:
Locally sourced and manufactured wool and linen products
“New Zealand's Pillow” for the Kindness Collective
Kind Face want as much of New Zealand as possible involved in the production of their products. They ALWAYS manufacture right here in beautiful Aotearoa using their own talented workroom team and specialist NZ suppliers for high-quality natural materials.
“We are a values based business and I personally believe businesses and consumers shouldn’t have to choose when it comes to doing the right thing for the environment, and the local economy. There is only one choice in my mind, and that is choosing to be the very best business we can be, which includes being kind to New Zealand, kind to the environment, kind to kiwi businesses and of course kind to you.”
