Brave

This shop feels very Italian. I guess it’s probably to do with the abundance of fashion brands from the fair country that are stocked in this tiny store from the likes of Diesel, Miss Sixty, Gaudí and Energie…
But I think it’s more than that, it’s because they have a really great selection of fashionable garments for men, something I have found to be somewhat of a rarity in Auckland, where mens clothes stores either seem to be predominantly streetwear or straight-​up chain store. This place wouldn’t look out of place on a cobbled Milanese side street, frequented by men who wear neckerchiefs and drink tiny cups of espresso with their pinkie finger stuck out.
It’s only a very small store but their collection of stock has been picked very well, with some really cool, wearable pieces in both the mens and womens departments. The clothing is expensive but, I don’t think, overpriced; it’s what these brands would cost in Europe and elsewhere, they haven’t been jacked up just because they’ve taken a trip across the Pacific.
