Baksana

What Baksana does

Baksana is a 100% New Zealand-owned luxury homewares retailer operating since 1987 and owned by Skye Furnishings Ltd. The company designs and develops its product range locally in New Zealand while sourcing textiles from established international mills in Europe and Turkey, holding third-party certifications including OEKO-TEX Standard 100 across its product range, European Flax Certification for its 100% linen offerings, and EN 12934 compliance for Hungarian goose down products. Its core product portfolio spans premium bedding (duvet cover sets, sheets and pillowcases at 310–1000 thread count, duvet inners and pillows with Hungarian goose down at 95/5 and 80/20 ratios), blankets and throws, bathroom textiles (bamboo towels, Turkish cotton towels including Bergama, beach towels), and men's and women's sleepwear and robes.

The business operates a multi-channel go-to-market model. Direct-to-consumer revenue flows through owned e-commerce (www.baksana.co.nz) and physical retail, including a Wellington flagship store, with prices quoted in NZD and free shipping on NZ and AU orders over $250. A secondary B2B channel serves authorised stockists and trade account customers via a dedicated B2B website, phone, and email ordering. Marketing is driven by owned channels: an email newsletter with a $10 first-purchase incentive, a blog with buying guides and seasonal content, organic social presence on Facebook and Instagram, and SEO-optimised site content. The company has 6 employees, is privately held with no external funding, and serves customers primarily in New Zealand and Australia, with international delivery available upon inquiry.
