Love The department store. They stock Topshop, Karen Walker, Ruby to name a few. Their Topshop prices are also actually quite competitive with buying it directly online. I do prefer being able to try Topshop pieces on in store and paying a little bit extra to do so. Be sure to sign up for their newsletter and you'll be in the know for announcements!
The department store has great items and a huge range of products and clothes. Kids, adults, male, female and style items. My daughters love the Color Bug hair colour that we got from there. They are perfect for little princesses who love to do their own hair and make-up. It is like chalk that you rub into your hair and it colours it. They wash out so it is no stress and my kids just have so much fun with it. Check out the photo, just one great unique item i found at the department store.
The Department Store has you covered on so many bases, but I have to say they have the best menswear in Auckland and the home wares are my favourite! You can grab an excellent coffee and browse the shop, and you can also get your hair done or nails polished all in the same place. A great one stop shop for indulgence!
As a concept The Department Store is faultless. I've heard people complain that they never see anyone in here, but I think that makes it relaxing. I don't want to fight my way through racks. Besides, quality over quantity, please! A beautiful place to find choice objects and the perfect 'one' thing to add to your wardrobe.
I don't think i've ever not bought something on a trip to The Department Store. I love Karen Walker's Hi There range and the Top Shop collection upstairs. They've just added a french bakery on the ground floor too so you can grab something scrummy to take home on your way out the door or sit and enjoy the atmosphere.
