New Zealand-founded, US-based woollen shoe company Allbirds is expanding its environmentally friendly manufacturing to apparel.

The San Francisco headquartered company, co-founded by former All White Tim Brown, is gearing up to launch a clothing line of T-shirts, jackets, jumpers and knitwear, to add to its growing footwear, socks and underwear business.

It will initially launch its clothing line in New Zealand with a range of T-shirts.

Tim Brown joined Heather du Plessis-Allan on the show this evening to talk about his venture.
