A fond farewell to our Ponsonby Store
A fond farewell to our Ponsonby Store
It's the end of an era for the Carlson Ponsonby Store, as we count down to the end of our lease in early June 2025. We've had 21 amazing years in this location and have been reflecting with gratitude on the thousands of incredible women we've had the pleasure of meeting and dressing over the years.
From ready-to-wear to bespoke demi-couture, bridal, and red carpet designs – every garment has been created with care, purpose, and our unwavering commitment to New Zealand made. It's been a joy to share our love of crafted, considered design in this beautiful space.
Most of all, it's been a privilege to be part of your working life, special occasions, celebrations, weddings, and anniversaries.
While our love for design remains unchanged, the shifts in retail mean it's time for us to evolve.
Going forward, Carlson will still be available through our dedicated online store and our other NZ stockists.
To mark the end of this era, we're holding a special End of Lease Sale over the next two weeks with special discounts in store and a rare opportunity to shop unique sample pieces and treasures from our archive.
Our final day in store will be Sunday 8th of June.
We'd love for you to stop by before then - to share your stories, browse our current collection, or take home a special Carlson piece from the samples and archives.
Love, Tanya and the team at Carlson
