Keep your feet deliciously cosy
and cowhide rugs. They also have a selection
of lower grade sheepskins which are very
popular as pet mats.
Possum Pam supply to numerous shops
across the board spanning the length of New
Zealand. They use NZ materials wherever
possible and are one of only four companies
left in New Zealand selling these type of
products because of the influence of Chinese
imports.
The devastation of Covid globally has
driven home how blessed we are to live
in such a safe country. At Possum Pam
everything is done onsite. It has become
increasingly important to buy local, reduce
Slide your feet into snuggly sheepskin
slippers on these frosty Autumn mornings.
Russell and Sue Dalzell, owner/operators of
Possum Pam, are enjoying being in Rolleston
and love the fact that they are now able to
have a retail outlet, bringing their wonderful
cosy slippers right to your doorstep.
Russell and Sue have been manufacturing
quality NZ Made sheepskin slippers since
1998, building the business up from a small
market stall to where they are today, currently
hiring 10 staff. “We have fantastic staff and
couldn’t be happier with the staff we have got.”
They shifted from their home-base in
Dunsandel to Rolleston in September. “We
had been looking for a place to base ourselves.
When this location came up in September we
jumped at it. We are in amongst a great bunch
of businesses who are all very supportive.
We are very pleased with how the locals have
come out and supported us.”
Possum Pam’s predominantly make
sheepskin slippers, from adorable baby
booties right through to adult sizes. There are
mid-calf boots and custom-made Bespoke
slippers for people who have special needs. “It
is surprising how many people come in here
or contact us, who can’t get what they need
in retail shops,” said Russell. They also sell
possum accessories, leather belts, sheepskins
carbon miles and retain as much of our
manufacturing base as we can. People are very
conscious of the benefit of buying products
that haven’t travelled halfway around the
world to get to here,
Russell and Sue fully stand behind their
product; check out their Facebook page or
pop in to see them. As long as the factory is
open, they are open. Possum Pam is located
at 823 Jones Road; open weekdays and from
9-3:30 on Saturdays.
Gary Elliot operates the
travelling head press.
