Our Story
Earth Sea Sky was formed in December 1990 when David teamed up with clothing designer, Sydney Mulligan. Between them they had more than 25 years experience in New Zealand’s outdoor clothing industry. This experience in design, production and sales was used to fill a growing need in the market for outdoor clothing that combined comfort, style and performance. David and Sydney introduced designs and colours that linked function and performance with great fit, attention to detail and fashion. Their first range of 20 garments included tramping jackets, oilskins, waterproof ski wear, 60/40 anorak windshells and Polartec thermal fleeces.
Since then, most of New Zealand’s outdoor clothing brands have taken their production offshore. Earth Sea Sky is committed to remaining New Zealand made. The Ellis family believes this is vital in maintaining the brand’s consistent quality and uniqueness.

I have finally retired my first Gretel after 11 years of hard use. I totally loved it, and it finally gave up under the arms after a lot of tramping. Very excited to welcome Gretel 2 today. She is every bit as lovely and I am so happy to have her fresh and new with her long lifetime of wear to look forward to. I love her.

Gretel is a warm, comfortable, stylish jacket I bought in 2018. Now 2 years later as we approach another autumn/winter season I feel happy everytime Gretel protects me from the cold. Well cut, with long enough sleeves, a convenient hood…Gretel has all features of a trusted feel-good garment.

I purchased my Gretel this year. It is a great fitted jacket that takes me anywhere. It has been thoughtfully cut and receives plenty of compliments when I walk into work wearing it.
It keeps the cold out, looks great and keeps me toasty warm when I need to be out and about in the city.

My favourite Winter Coat.
I’ve worn out ‘Gretel 1’, bought around 8 years ago, and am now onto ‘Gretel 2’! Love it, great style.

I agree with the other reviews, I also bought this jacket in 2009 and it is by far my favourite item of winter clothing. It still looks great after 6 years of wear. Love that it keeps me warm on cold days without padding or bulk and also looks stylish. A good example of where it pays to buy quality in the long ru

I bought this in 2009 and i have worn it every winter. This is a well tailored piece with a beautiful fit and colour. There is no pilling (handbag rubbing), no wear and tear, and very durable. I love it! This piece is still going strong and keeping me nice and warm. Well worth the price!
