Since creating our first products more than
a century ago, the Fairydown brand has come
to be associated with something more than
simply the products that bare its name.
Fairydown represents some of the finest bedware
and outdoor equipment in the world and is
the embodiment of a pioneering attitude that
has earned New Zealand its reputation as the
little country with the big heart.
When you buy genuine Fairydown bedware, you
take with you more than just a superb product.
You take away an original piece of New Zealand,
highly prized by those who have gone before
you.

History
Founded in 1877, Arthur Ellis is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Donaghys Ltd, New Zealand's
oldest publicly listed company. It had its
beginnings when Ephraim Ellis, a hand loom
weaver from Yorkshire, imported a flock machine
and set up his own flock mill. His son Arthur
entered the business as an apprentice and
quickly built upon his fathers legacy. Arthur
Ellis was owned by international company Northern
Feather for a time before being brought by
Donaghys in 1991. |
