Exciting news for folk keen on adding a luxury bag to their collection: Gucci is opening in Auckland in late April. And it's not just bags - luggage, shoes, watches, fragrances, eyewear and the Gucci Gift Collection will be available in what is set to be Gucci'slargest outlet in Australasia, clocking in at 300 sq m. There will also be ready-to-wear. The store is in the Imperial building, 48 Queen St.
And Louis Vuitton is moving across the road to be Gucci's next-door-neighbour. The new LV store at 56 Queen St will be larger than the current one, meaning a bigger selection of shoes, bags, luggage, watches and accessories.
Time for T
Trend-conscious parents should get to The Warehouse next Wednesday. We're telling you this now because last time, T-shirts designed for children by New Zealand label World sold out pretty quickly. It's all for a good cause, with $5 from each T-shirt - they cost between $15 and $18 - going to the Starship Foundation for lifesaving equipment and air emergency services. The World Starship Foundation T-shirts feature motifs such as milk bottles, waistcoat outlines and sparkling wands.
