7 months agoAn action-packed treasure hunt (masquerading as a clothing store) for those into Vintage and Second-hand Designer clothing. So many lovely pieces, with a high stock rotation! It’s often a challenge not to walk out with a pretty decent haul of clothing… I’ve been known to be leaving, and something else has caught my eye and so back into the changing-rooms I go!! With wonderful, knowledgeable and helpful staff, Kim has assembled a dream-team! The culture of the store is so lovely and supportive. It’s noticeable the customers often like to chat and become acquainted with one another. This store has helped me to expand both my fashion knowledge and wardrobe! Easily one of the best locations in Downtown Mount Maunganui!

9 months agoAwesome shop! Can get some great rehomed one off and quirky clothing pieces plus shoes and accessories. Service great too. Only slight complaint would be the clothes are a bit pricey so shop here with that in mind. Also not sure if these funds go to a charity at all? Are pieces donated? I don't know. Will ask next time I go because this store is one of my favs in the BOP.
