Everything new and notable that graced our inbox this week.
From receipts as currency on K Road to a Natasha Oakley x Glassons capsule, the arrival of Phoebe Philo at Simon James, and PUMA’s revival of a 2000s sneaker icon – this week in fashion is stacked. Add to that new works from Jasmin Sparrow and a heritage-meets-Rio collab from Barbour x Farm Rio, and there’s no shortage of fresh drops, pop-ups, and launches to shop right now.
Loyalty is currency at Karangahape Returns
Forget cash — on Karangahape Road, your receipts are worth more than money. Until Saturday 20 September, the Karangahape Returns pop-up at 490 Karangahape Road is trading treasures for proof of local spend. Think: a Vegas Girl key ring (3 receipts), a Mercury Plaza puzzle (33 receipts), or even a vintage Leo O’Malley suit (57 receipts).
All receipts must be dated after September 11 and spent physically in the K Road neighbourhood. Purchases can be collected when doors close on the 20th.
