The boutique experience
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
Returns were genuinely free
From my first contact regarding the purchase, till the quick arrival of my boots August's service was exceptional. Communication was efficient, and I am a very happy customer with my fancy boots. :)
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.

Meet August
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.
