Pop Up Shop, 25 September, Christchurch

The loss of Christchurch’s fabulous High Street shopping precinct and many of Lyttelton’s lovely shops has left Christchurch with a distinct lack of independent boutiques and gift shops to discover up and coming designers…but all is not lost!

Felt sellers and said up and coming designers Ninotchka McKay, Gillian Weavers and Rosie Miller have joined forces to hold a pop up shop in Beckenham this Sunday 25 September.

Featuring Ninotchka’s newly launched clothing label Sailor Spy, designer Rosie Miller’s beautifully tailored inaugural collection and Gillian’s Mudbird ceramic jewellery and giftware, the shop will be open from 10am till 4pm on Sunday at The Mohair Shop, 140 Colombo Street in Beckenham. It’s a one-day-only opportunity to touch and try on some gorgeous pieces, meet the makers and support three awesome fledgling businesses. There’s even a cupcake shop right next door – seriously, could a pop up shop be more perfectly located? Gather together some girlfriends and head to Beckenham for a little retail therapy this weekend.
