The Windy City.

Yesterday, I spent 9 hours in Wellington where we opened our second Recycle Boutique 2 years and 3 months ago. I walked into our store down there (209 Cuba St) and was silenced with jealousy. A few months ago, the popularity of this fab, wee store meant a shop floor expansion was necessary and saw us taking over the store next door, knocking out the wall in between and making the store a 1/3 bigger. If you live in Wellington, make sure you go in a check out the awesomeness that is the Recycle Boutique. The staff are helpful and friendly and the contents of the store is FANTASTIC!

Admittedly, it reminds me of the original Darby St premises the Auckland store used to occupy. Kind of kitsch, grubby but in an adds character kind of way, back streets of New York kinda place. Three years ago next month, we moved across the road into a much larger site (which is good for you and us 'cause it means we can jam pack MORE cool clothes, accessories, shoes etc) but unfortunately, it is a hard space to make look cool. I'm making it my mission after seeing the Welli store in all it's cool glory, to jazz up the Auckland store a little, give it back a little of the character and charm it used to have - if you have any suggestions that you think may help me on this mission, please email me at sales@recycleboutique.co.nz xx
