100% New Zealand owned, we’ve been making school uniforms for over forty years

Since 1948 Argyle Schoolwear has specialised in the manufacture of high quality school uniforms and over the decades has grown to become New Zealand's market leader, supplying hundreds of schools nationwide. Continual investment in technology has ensured our business has stayed at the forefront of school uniform supply. Our market leading ecommerce platform makes it easy to place a retail (ArgyleOnLine) or wholesale (ArgyleDirect) order online with real time stock information.

We genuinely believe our people are our most important asset and this culture postively impacts the service we provide to our customers. Our Senior Management Team and Account Managers share a combined total service with Argyle Schoolwear of more than 60 years.

Our values and ethics are fundamental to our supply chain

With our own New Zealand based factory and manufacturing heritage, we only partner with suppliers of the highest ethical standards. Our team regularly visit our offshore factories to conduct audits-ensuring our rigorous quality and social compliance standards are met. By controlling the whole manufacturing process and owning our patterns, you can trust your school uniform will be consistent on colour and fit year on year. Our school uniforms are often out grown before they are worn out.

We evolve ideas and products with your community in mind

Our in-house design team will work side by side with you to create a school uniform fit for purpose that can be worn with pride. A large range of stock items are also available for immediate supply with the option to customize with your own logo.

We enable schools to focus on their core business - teaching

One of the biggest pain points for schools is having funds tied up in stock. Our stock support, next day delivery service and local manufacturing for plugging any unanticipated gaps, means you can reduce stock levels with confidence.

We pride ourselves in creating an inclusive culture

We want all students to fit in rather than stand out. If a student has special needs or is outside the normally stocked size range, we will make their uniform especially for them at no extra cost in our New Zealand factory.
