A standout collection of international and local fashion and beauty retailers are coming to what will be Auckland’s largest mixed-use lifestyle precinct – Commercial Bay. Precinct Properties have announced a mix of first-to-market and established local fashion favourites as part of the highly anticipated retail line up coming to Commercial Bay in 2019. H&M are already trading in the precinct. 

French fashion labels Sandro and Maje are international brands making their debut on Kiwi shores. Maje epitomises femininity and joie-de-vivre, while Sandro is chic, sleek and cool. These unique Parisian labels are sure to draw the attention of local fashion lovers.

“Our goal at Commercial Bay is to ensure the fashion, and food and beverage offerings available contribute to making it the most transformational project Auckland has ever seen. We’ve worked closely with our leasing partners, Match, who have carefully curated the offer and we’re thrilled with the fashion brands that have committed to Commercial Bay. Aucklanders will be able to enjoy a reinvigorated city centre shopping experience like no other later this year.” Pritchard said

“As well as the establishment of first to market international brands, we’re really proud to support Kiwi fashion brands making their mark on Auckland city centre retail. We’re passionate about creating a precinct that helps local retailers expand their footprint and rub shoulders with some of the world’s most popular high-end brands,” he continued
