Auckland's main shopping precincts for clothes and shoes are Queen Street, the Britomart precinct behind the train station and Newmarket; Queen Street is particularly good for outdoor gear, duty-free goods, greenstone jewelry, and souvenirs and big-name international brands. O'Connell and High streets also have a good smattering of designer boutiques, bookstores, and other specialty shops. Ponsonby is known for its design stores and fashion boutiques.
Always among the top New Zealand designers, this fashion label run by an informed family team has always charted its own course. Its garments for men and women are never dated and are worn by influential people who want a look that is both strong and understated. The company also carries major international fashion brands. It's near Waitematā Station (Britomart).
