Shop ‘til you drop! Everything on Remix’s retail radar
Never again will we take for granted the thrill of real-world shopping. Despite the convenience of online shopping (which of late, even that has stalled), traditional shopping provides us with a tactile experience that cannot be matched. We still want to touch, try, test, feel and engage. Then, there’s the smells, the sounds, the smiles and the social aspect of real-life shopping that of course can’t be replicated from behind a screen. More over though, it’s never been more important to support our friends in retail after an extremely testing few months. To rally around retail, inspire your next summer staple, and remind you that Christmas is in 46 days (eek), we’ve rounded up the Remix team’s shopping hit list.
Faradays
Your one-stop shop for the finer things in life, Faradays ranks high on our shopping spree list this week. Come Thursday, Faradays will open their doors for the very first time, and with that providing exclusive access to the most coveted, hard-to-find designer brands. Givenchy, Loewe, Alexandre Vauthier, Guiseppe Zainotti, Alaïa and La Perla are just a few of the big names lining the emporium’s walls. What’s more, as New Zealand’s sole stockist of Christian Louboutin, the world's most iconic red-soled heels, Faradays is sure to fulfil every girl’s long-held designer dreams. The flagship store on Faraday Street in Parnell is a must-visit on your Auckland retail roadie.
Faradays opens Thursday 11th November
Moncler
The newest luxury name to grace the corridors of Westfield Newmarket is none other than Moncler. The iconic French-Italian brand has finally arrived on New Zealand soil and we can't wait to take a peek at the ski wear splendour that the brand so seamlessly designs. With travel off the cards, Moncler’s range of glossy puffer jackets and après-chic apparel is as close as we're getting to the French Alps right now.

Off the back of the glamorous live Gucci Love Parade fashion show last week, which practically shut down Hollywood Boulevard, our lust for luxury has never been stronger. To inspire your next cost per wear investment, peruse a few of the must-haves on Remix’s wish list right now. For a fail-safe Christmas gift, the classic double G loafers are a trans-seasonal staple or the GG Marmont small tote bag for all your beach to bar escapades.

Tiffany & Co.
Nothing quite sets the heart aflutter like unwrapping on Christmas morning to find that iconic blue box.

Tiffany & Co has become an icon of luxury and exclusivity the world over. Hot on the heels of their ‘About Love’ partnership with powerhouse couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z, the renowned jeweller is sitting high on our wishlist.
