Who we are
Canterbury of New Zealand was established in 1904 by John Lane, Pringle Walker and Alfred Rudkin, three English immigrants, turned proud Kiwis, who began producing woollen clothing in the Canterbury province of New Zealand. The three had such a love for New Zealand, they named their clothing company after the place they lived - the proud region of Canterbury. And what did they decide on for the logo? Three Kiwis, of course.
The brand was so well known for making hard-working and resilient garments, the NZ Army asked them to make uniforms that could endure the conditions of the First World War. And whilst Canterbury has been synonymous with rugby and multi sports for the last 118 years, the versatility of our clothing has been seen as a ‘badge of honour’ for anyone who pulls on the iconic CCC logo– from rugby, to sailing, the worksite and everything in between.
Today, we continue to bring our passion and these same values to our extensive product offering, extending our brand proposition and positioning to go beyond the pitch, sharing our pride in the durability, comfort and versatility of our garments and celebrating real people, just doing their everyday thing.
