The boutique experience

What our customers say

  • Like shopping a friend's wardrobe

    The jacket fits like a glove. The waterfall lapel drapes beautifully; I think the weight of the fabric contributes to this. It pairs well with the gunmetal, tiered, maxi, tulle skirt I also purchased at the same time as this jacket. I have plans for these 2 items at this year's Fashion Week.

  • Designer pieces at a fraction

    I love this dress from it's stylish gingham check to the chic tassels which add that little bit of "je ne sais quoi". A fine purchase made from a fine store. Thanks so much xo

  • Worth the wait every time

    I had been wanting a Status Anxiety bag for awhile and couldn’t believe my luck when I found August selling one at a great price. The bag is gorgeous and exactly as advertised. Great service and a quick delivery. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer.

A personal note from our founder

August began with a simple belief: a beautiful garment should live more than one life. Every piece in the archive is hand-selected, checked and packed by us here in New Plymouth.
