Our general style is true to size for a comfortable fit. Please see individual product descriptions for more information.

Our Apartment pants are the perfect casual and comfortable pant for travelling, running errands and hanging out. They are designed to be worn hanging loosely around your hips and backside, with a drop crutch between the legs. Please bear in mind that these pants aren't stitched using "activewear" techniques, so the seams may give way and pop in pressure spots if you've chosen a snug fit. A tighter fit may also cause the printed designs to rub off in places, and you can rub away the fabric between your legs. We recommend staying true to your size for optimal wear, we don't recommend sizing down.

Our pants have an elastic component in the cotton fabric, which gives them the great drape, stretch and recovery and comfy look and feel. However elastic can perish over time – so we recommend keeping the fabric away from heat as much as you can, don’t put them in the dryer, use a cold machine wash, and if possible, dry your pants inside or in the shade, rather than in direct sunlight. Using harsh washing powders can also erode the elastane in your fabric over time.

Most of our well-known items are made from Cotton/Elastane in the following weights:

190GSM - is our "Summer Weight," typically used for t-shirts and apartment pants.

260GSM - is our "Winter Weight," this fabric is typically used for sweatshirts. It features unbrushed fleece, so it has a smooth interior.

All our items are designed in Nelson, New Zealand and manufactured for us in China. We partner with a small, family-owned factory that exclusively produces items for Homelee. Each year, we visit the factory to connect with the workers and owners.

Yes, we are really pleased to be able to partner with local community groups to support a variety of causes. We are currently working with the SHINE programme in Intermediates and High Schools, which aims to equip girls with an understanding of their own personal worth, value, strength, potential and purpose.
