Black Box Boutique

Whether you’re after sexy yet accessible streetwear, something for a night out or a little trinket for that friend who has everything and doesn’t appreciate novelty gifts, the Box has got you covered.

Black Box Boutique in Grey Lynn (there's also one in Takapuna) stock the best New Zealand designers and international fashion brands. You’ll have heard of most of them: Commoners, Huffer, Stolen Girlfriends Club, Vanishing Elephant, Reebok, Nike, Deadly Ponies, One Teaspoon. Several are newer kids on the block or a little obscure: Georgia Alice, Broken Homme, Uppercut, Vale, Poler.

Regardless, it’s all quality stuff and you’ll want every last thread. Black Box really is a one-stop shop, and its contents are considered: a mix of statement pieces and investment basics (yet leaning more toward the latter) that would look even better in your wardrobe or on your dresser.

The staff (even the really, really good looking ones) are always super friendly and helpful, and if you need some pro tips, just ask.
