To Wear

We have a stunning range of clothes that are all a bit different from the norm and often one-offs. Mostly the clothes, especially the women's clothes, are best tried on. So here, we just show you a sample to tempt you to come in and try them on!

The fabulous designers we stock include Vesta, Juna and Marama from the infamous Moa store. We also stock the very funky R.U. Precious label as well as the very talented Hayley King of Flox design. Local girl Shelly Matiu represents with her label Ngati Style and Jen from Design by Nature is still hooking us up with great designs in both mens and womens..

The menswear lends itself more to shopping online- mostly coming in standard sizes. Our mens shirts have been particularly successful as wedding shirts..

Let us know if you are looking for something in particular.
