About

Welcome to Minkylicious

Minkylicious was established in 2012, when the lack of good quality minky fabric available in stores was recognised.  It has grown since then to also supply nappy making fabrics, snaps & haberdashery.

I purchased the business from Kelly in December 2019 – right on the Xmas rush – and moved locations to the Waikato, to a small rural town called Orini.

I have always loved fabrics, sewing and crafts.  I even obtained School Certificate Sewing back when it was a subject at school.  I also worked in a Hamilton women’s clothing sewing factory for a while too, J & E Heskett.  Since then I obtained a business degree, with sewing becoming a hobby, however my passion for fabrics has never strayed.

I also have a passion for eco-friendly products – and feel the push for us as individuals & New Zealanders, in our clean green country, to play our part to reduce waste.  These “use once & throw away” products need to be reduced.  We can all pay our part & use reusable washable nappies, baby wipes, feminine products, makeup remover cloths, sandwich PUL bags and many other products.

Minkylicious uses only compostable courier bags and will start using non-plastic packaging where possible in the future.

I am looking forward to this new adventure – and will be expanding the fabrics stocked over the next year.  If you have any questions please contact me.

regards

Melissa
