Hello. My name’s Harold and this is the rest of the team that make up Bernina Kapiti. Bernina is a gathering place for keen people who love sewing and crafts.

Bernina has been on the Coast for about twenty-five years.
We choose to be in the Village because of the friendly atmosphere. We’ve never been fans of big impersonal shopping malls, as often the shop personnel are not the owners, so may lack the greater knowledge of what they are selling. At Raumati Beach Village almost every owner can be found working in their shop. You receive that extra bit of service that is hard to find in a mall.

We stock a real treasure cove of materials suitable for the novice right through to the expert. We have a great range of sewing machines, quilting, embroidery, knitting and haberdashery products. Not to mention a wealth of knowledge on all the latest techniques and tips. We have a range of advanced sewing machines employing the latest computer technology, and we can show you how to use them.

We offer a second to none repair and alteration service for people who want their clothes altered.
We also offer a complete service and repair for all brands of sewing machines. Our caring team will go that extra mile to listen and make sure you get exactly what you want. We have very special relationships with our customers. If you buy a machine from us you are a customer for life. We provide extensive post purchase assistance if required.

It is highly rewarding seeing people’s creations and knowing that we have provided all the materials and any advice they require. So come in and see us.

We’d love to have a chat and show you what we can offer.
