John West

John West Ltd, John West Exclusive, and Berg were brand names of a downtown Auckland company specializing in deerskin and other suede leathers trimmed with possum fur.

Berg Game in Whakatane supplied the skins, and the movie Dr Zhivago the design inspiration.

The Eden Hore Central Otago collection includes four John West garments, reflecting Hore ’s keen interest in the intersection between fashion and the primary industries.
