A week ago today we opened our Sylvia Park Pop-Up store; super exciting because it’s our first real foray in to retail (our showroom aside), and super nerve-racking because it’s our first real foray in to retail (and the associated cost/risk).

Our Pop-Up is located in the hive of the fashion area, outside Glassons, Kookai, and Rodd & Gunn – you can’t miss it right in the centre isle.

Over the years we’ve had heaps and heaps of requests for more retail stores, and it’s always been in our vision that one day we’d have stores across the country. This is a test, and a first step – hopefully it works and helps out a few disoriented Christmas Sylvia Park shoppers.

We’re really stoked with how the pop-up’s turned out, especially given the limited space we had. Rob spent a whole bunch of time working on the layout and merchandising – the success of which is due in no small part to his previous experience in merchandising the Papatoetoe New World and his supreme special awareness.

Tell all your friends about it, and if you’re in Sylvia Park be sure to stop by and get your Christmas gifts sorted early!

Guaranteed Christmas Delivery cut off was yesterday. It was an intense day in the warehouse; really intense. But we got it all done (high stress = high performance), and if you ordered before 3pm – you should be sweet for Christmas.

If you still haven’t got all your Christmas shopping done - and you’re in Auckland - you should pop down to our showroom. We’ve got all sorts of stocking fillers besides the staple t-shirt; The NZ Artist Series, tea towels, cushions, Longest Drink Cup Sets & Height Charts, and a whole bowl of free Minties.

So come on down – 302b Great North Rd. BONUS. The store is open till 9pm tonight. It’s better than the mall; there are no jerks at our shop, and no douche car-parking wardens telling you where to park. We’ll be open tomorrow (24^th) too, but only till 6pm.

Not in Auckland? Can’t make it to the showroom? We’re still sending orders out today – Rob’s out there printing like a madman – and while it’s not guaranteed shipping, you should still be sweet. Most of our orders have had next day delivery from shipping date; so it’s probably a pretty fair bet that you’ll still get your order in time if you make one today. Make one.

You should also – if you’re not already – follow our facebook and twitter pages. We’re doing a whole bunch of giveaways in store that we’ll be announcing via face and twit. Moist.
