"There’s nothing like this in Kaiapoi and it’s growing – it’s such an exciting place to be.’’
Im a mother of two and i have worked in fashion retail for the past seven years.
We moved to North Canterbury from Christchurch five years ago ‘‘for the children and the lifestyle’’.
CRAZE has fun and funky clothing from designers in New Zealand, Sydney and Los Angeles.
‘‘I’m not targeting anyone in particular. I’ve gone young and funky, and really pretty, and soft and subtle.’’
I have selected stock that i would wear, and a range of clothing to suit different moods and styles.
The store opening is the fulfillment of a long-held dream to own my own fashion outlet.
‘‘I love the buzz of retail and the excitement of making someone happy.’’

The Little Leather Co. was born in 2013, in a city still getting back on its feet after devastating earthquakes two years prior. With a declining leather industry set back even further by the Christchurch earthquakes, Little Leather set out to produce something new and exciting and to keep skills alive in an aging workforce.
Worldwide, fashion is a typically homogenised, mass produced industry, pumping out items that will last one season. Little Leather isn't concerned with fashion. It's about style. Every Little Leather piece is made to order and carefully constructed to last beyond trends.
All Little Leather bags are designed and made from it's small workshop just north of Christchurch, New Zealand. Using beautiful, quality leather from around the world, and fur only from NZ, Little Leather crafts leather bags that are unique, functional, well made and designed to stand the test of time.
Designer pre-loved women's, baby and toddler clothing and unique home decor items and accessories. Online and physical store on a lifestyle property right on the doorstep of Kaiapoi.
Magnolia lane is a dream to create a fashion range that caters for a large number of ladies, incorporating lots of colour and sequins all season round.

A culmination of life experiences.
Local and Global.
Shirley White was born in Zimbabwe, back when it was called Rhodesia.
As a young girl, Shirley migrated from Africa to Dunedin, New Zealand.
If anything is going to test your cross-cultural appreciation then perhaps this bold move was a sign of things to come.
Fortunately Shirley fell in love with the South Island.
Snow, sheepdogs, bush-walks, cheese rolls.
Shirley finished her schooling at Otago Girls and then completed her studies at Otago University.
She then found herself managing a retail fashion store, Farry's Fashions, in George Street, Dunedin and this provided an entry-point to the fashion industry and a lifelong passion was established. She spent 15 years in retail fashion in Dunedin including 4 years running her own boutique.
Since then Shirley has worked in Christchurch, Sydney and Melbourne.
In Sydney she managed stores of iconic brands, United Colors of Benetton and Guess Jeans (USA).
While based in Melbourne, Shirley managed high-end retail fashion store, Cose Ipanema, with European brands, Dries Van Noten, Comme Des Garcons and Girbaud.
After nearly 20 years in Australia, Shirley returned home to New Zealand to spend more time with her daughter, Selena, and grand-daughter, Sasha.
Nzulu was founded in 2018.
It represents an alloy of African heritage, love of New Zealand and a sensibility that endorses cross-cultural design aesthetics and ideas.
Shirley has hand-picked select items from designers she has sourced internationally.
Limited editions enable Nzulu to provide clients with unique pieces while remaining fresh and ever-changing as new designs enter the collection.
We hope you enjoy what's here.
And we look forward to what's around the corner
Filled with a wide range of affordable gifts and items.
