Ready to take your next step in retail with an established, New Zealand owned womenswear brand?

At our stores, selling clothes is one part of the equation. Our favourite part is that we give real service that helps our customers feel confident, comfortable, and seen.

• A genuine commitment to outstanding customer service and personal selling
• Passionate about fashion and helping others feel and look their best
• Confidence to engage and connect with a wide range of customers
• Experienced in retail or hospitality or customer service, however we accept all backgrounds and experiences
• Physically capable to stand for extended periods and manage stock (lifting, unpacking, replenishing)
• Energy, enthusiasm, and a willingness to learn
• A team mindset, we work in small stores, everyone does everything

Retail is rewarding — but it is also demanding. We value people who are resilient, proactive, and ready to contribute fully.

What We Offer

• Dedicated training, you are supported from day one
• Generous clothing discount
