Jumpers, cardigans & hoodies

Jumpers, cardigans & hoodies in New Zealand

Updated 3 November 2026

In New Zealand a women's jumper, cardigan or hoodie usually costs between NZ$16 and NZ$165, depending on the fibre, the brand and whether the knit is merino. Basic knits from general retailers sit at the bottom of that range, while merino and designer pieces sit at the top. For a price on the exact style you want, describe it in a request on BlaBlaPrice and sellers will reply with their own offers.

Labels and consumer rights

New clothing and footwear sold in New Zealand must carry country of origin labelling, and many textiles must show their fibre content. Check the label for wool, merino or blends before you pay, because the fibre decides how the jumper washes and wears. Under the Consumer Guarantees Act, goods bought in New Zealand already carry legal rights, so an extended warranty is usually not needed unless it gives more protection than the law does.

Season and warmth

November is spring here. The winter months of June to August are when warm knits are needed most, and the summer months of December to February call for lighter cardigans and cotton hoodies. Buy a warm layer before the cold months rather than in them, and choose a cardigan you can layer over a dress or a shirt when the evenings turn cool.

How it is bought and delivered

• Measure chest and length in centimetres and compare them with the seller's size chart, since sizes vary between brands.
• Name your city in the request, for example Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton or Tauranga, and ask for the delivery cost before you agree.
• Ask whether the price is for the item only or includes postage, because listings differ on this.

What to put in your request

Say what you want (jumper, cardigan or hoodie), the material and warmth, the size, colour, whether it should be new or used, and your budget in NZ$. A line such as "merino cardigan, size 12, navy, under NZ$120, deliver to Wellington" lets sellers give you an exact offer quickly.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. You describe the piece in your own words in a chat, and BlaBlaPrice looks through local sellers' websites and price lists, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers who are registered reply in the chat with their own price, terms and delivery, while your contact details stay hidden until you decide to share them.
