New Zealand’s luxury fashion options are about to be significantly boosted with the arrival of a number of sought-after global designer brands.
The line-up of international retailers soon to open within Westfield Newmarket’s recently redeveloped shopping mall includes a number of names that have never had a significant retail presence in the country.
Moncler, Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Burberry, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors will each open their first New Zealand boutiques within the luxury precinct, along with Louis Vuitton and locally-owned Partridge Jewelers.
Further luxury brands also opening in the space will be announced in the coming months.
Located at street level of the mall that sits over two large blocks on Broadway in Newmarket, the majority of the retailers are due to open before Christmas. The new openings join British luxury accessories label Mulberry and Auckland’s first David Jones, which opened within the precinct in December 2020.
Scentre Group Director of Leasing and Retail Solutions and Development NZ, John Papagiannis said the introduction of these brands represents a significant milestone for luxury retail in New Zealand.
“We’re proud to be delivering this one-of-a-kind luxury retail experience, on a scale previously unseen in New Zealand.
“The introduction of these retailers represents the strength of the local customer and their desire for premium retail and brand experiences akin to the rest of the world.
“The new Westfield Newmarket luxury precinct will become a go-to destination for New Zealanders looking to connect and engage with some of the most sought-after luxury brands and we look
forward to celebrating the first of many grand openings with our customers and retail partners later this year.”
