River

I really love this store, it’s such a great place to come for Australian and NZ designer clothing. They stock brands such as Cybele, Kathryn Wilson and Trelise Cooper as well as my personal favourites Lonely Hearts, Ksubi and Nom’d. Purchasing from this store feels like much more of an occasion, it feels special because it has a really boutique feel and everything is beautifully displayed. The staff here are really great and they help to create the friendly relaxed environment that this place has, I always feel comfortable talking to them and asking any questions they may have. I don’t feel looked down upon here like I sometimes get at designer boutiques. The free street parking makes it very easy to spend a long time in this store as well as all the racks and tables full of absolutely beautiful clothing.

If you’re after some great New Zealand designers all under one roof, why don’t you pop into River on Remuera Road in the heart of the Upland Road village. Here you will find a large mix of designer women’s clothing, accessories such as jewellery and sunglasses, gorgeous shoes and even some other quirky gifts that would be perfect around the home.
Whenever I am in the Upland Road village and walk past this store I can’t help but poke my head in for a wee look as everything in there is stunning. If only the price was just as nice. River is definitely on the more expensive side. But it’s here you are paying for quality of the goods.
Originally starting in Keri Keri they still have a store up there selling the same fabulous designer clothing.
There is plenty of street parking in this area. Just watch out for when it’s a clear way, you wouldn’t want to miss out on a new dress because you have to pay to get your car out of the pound.
