There are a few stores over Auckland that I go to when in need of something a little bit fancy or a staple piece that could be a bit of an investment. Made is one of them. Located on the outskirts of the awesome Britomart area, it is often forgotten, but this can add to it’s appeal. It is stocked with heaps of great designers both from New Zealand and abroad. There are crazy pieces that will definitely make a statement, down to everyday casual items that are of a high quality. The layout of the store is really cool, wh a sort of old warehouse vibe. There are also lots of accessories, like scarves, socks and laptop covers that add to the mish mash vibe andmakes it a good stop off for gift-buying. The service ws good when I went in. Although I prefer my service to be quite stand offish and to leave me to my own devices. Quite expenny, but its really cool stuff so ya know.

Made is a beautifully merchandised shop, stocked with a wide range of international and New Zealand designer brands from Vivienne Westwood to Karen Walker. However, this immediate attractiveness of the shop does not really make up for the less-than-average service you receive. Although Made is never terribly hectic or busy, every time I have entered the shop, I have failed to be acknowledged by any of the shop attendants sitting at the counter or walking around the shop. Perhaps I look too much like a poor university student to afford any of the clothes? Anyway, after not being able to find the pants in the window I liked(and not really being assisted in this matter) I left Made feeling rather dissatisfied, and subsequently went on to spend money at one of boutique’s neighboring shops. A tip for all shop assistants — you snooze, you lose.
