Ali

Design + Retail
Morrinsville HQ
“Growing up, Mum was an excellent sewer, I was making my own clothes at 12 as clothing at that time was all a bit stuffy. This led to starting a designer store in Ponsonby. After the 80s financial collapse I moved to a buyer position then as a lingerie designer. I then escaped the the city to the mighty Waikato, since then I have been with Annah working in retail and fuller figure design. We have had so many amazing adventures together. Happily working in retail now with our fantastic customers."

Work With Us

The Stretton Clothing Company has been a leading brand in the New Zealand fashion market for 30 years. We started in Morrinsville in 1992, and our head office is still based there. We have several retail stores and a strong online presence, and employ close to 80 people each day in part time, casual, contract and full time positions.


We have a huge philanthropic heart that pumps through the company’s daily operations, and we have massive collaborations and alignments supporting a variety of charities, both local and national. These include the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation, SPCA, SAFE, the Asthma Foundation, Child Cancer and many more. Annah also chairs the Waikato Women’s Refuge board since 2014.


Late in 2013 Annah set up her own foundation and started her first charitable initiative - RAW (Reclaim Another Woman). The main focus for RAW is to drive very real outcomes for socially disadvantaged offending women and leave a legacy for New Zealand that goes well beyond the fashion. RAW was seed funded from the profits of Stretton Clothing Company Ltd.
