A boutique shopping experience.

From the moment you step into our New Plymouth store, you’ll see why we are more than just another preloved clothing shop in NZ.  August (meaning impressive and dignified) is here to redefine second-hand shopping.

Organized by size:

At August, we are all about making your shopping experience effortless and enjoyable.   Our store is thoughtfully organised by size across dresses, tops, and pants.   Our customers love that they can head straight to their section and browse our clothing without the guesswork.  While this helps avoid disappointment, we also encourage you to browse the racks on either side of your size, as many pieces beautifully crossover between sizes.

Our quality second-hand shoes are also clearly labelled in both American and European sizing, making it simple to find the perfect fit.

Curated Designers:

Let's be honest: when shopping boutique second-hand fashion in New Zealand, you are searching for those designer finds.  Flicking through the racks of our preloved clothing, you will find well-known and respected Kiwi labels such as Trelise Cooper, Moochi, and Kowtow, as well as newer designers that you will fast become obsessed with.  There is so much variety to suit all styles, shapes, and occasions.  Circular fashion at its finest!

A Pretty Space:

Our boutique is light, airy, and full of feminine touches.  The pink walls and counter, our stunning rattan mirror, and floral centre piece all add to the boutique shopping experience.

Scent matters too. From freshly steamed garments to a subtle in-store fragrance, every detail elevates your shopping experience - and we often hear how amazing our store smells!

We believe sustainable fashion NZ should feel (and smell) as good as it is responsible.

Warm, genuine service:

Above all else, it’s the people who make the difference.  You will always be welcomed into August with a warm greeting and friendly smile.  Here to help, we welcome both those new to preloved shopping and seasoned thrifters.  

Second-hand fashion in New Zealand is alive and well.  August is taking this experience to the next level.  Through our shop layout, easy sizing, enjoyable atmosphere and friendly staff, we really are a boutique that happens to sell preloved clothing NZ.

Next time you find yourself in New Plymouth, be sure to pop in and see for yourself just how enjoyable preloved shopping can be.  

We are also proudly online with our website augustonline.nz  Making our preloved store accessible all over New Zealand Australia.
