Design Emporium

Outlined by Caroline Lawrence, owner of Design Emporium.

What makes Design Emporium unique?

Design Emporium offers hand-picked quality designer items and timeless pieces.

In-store, we offer hem and minor alterations on all full-priced garments as we have our workroom available too!

Moving forward we’ll be working with small businesses that offer unique items and we’ll be creating our own. There’s a collaboration or two on the cards and we’re always on the lookout for exclusive new products.

Design Emporium’s philosophy

Design Emporium offers products and clothing that are made-to-last and won't date! According to The Ellen MacArthur Foundation - a new textiles economy (2017) if we wear our clothing twice as long our environmental impact will be 44% lower.

What’s next for Design Emporium?

Design Emporium will be a place that people keep coming back to - whether that's online or our Retail store @70 Tennyson St, Napier which opened October 1st, 2024

We’re always thinking about what it offers from a customer perspective so our emails and social posts will be fun, inspirational and interesting, and our design pieces will be cool, classic and covetable.

It’s not just about selling products, I really want people to enjoy visiting Design Emporium.
