THE BACKROOM

Situated in the cosy back rooms behind a sunny florist shop is a bargain hunter’s paradise. We’re talking fabulous discounted fashion for women, children and mums-to-be. First, let’s start with the great labels. David Pond, Baxter & Rose, Ashley Vogel (NZ labels) and Art Garb (sizes 8 to 22) all sell here for wholesale prices. Smooth sells for 30 per cent off retail prices (sizes 12 to 24). Fragile is the label available for maternity wear and children’s wear at up to 50 per cent off recommended retail prices. The Backroom also stocks Sanderson & Malabar furnishing fabrics for 70 per cent off retail prices.
