Our Story

August brings to you a lovingly curated collection of quality preloved clothing, footwear, and accessories.  Here at August, we love style, and nothing brings us more joy than knowing the garments' original story, to its next exciting adventure with a new owner.  Circular fashion at its finest!

Named after owner Rachel's birthday month, August means impressive and dignified, which sums up our store perfectly as we hand select only the best preloved finds.  For those seeking even more sustainable choices, we proudly promote pieces from ethical label ReCreate and upcycled creations by NZ designer Juli Hunter.  Fabric composition is important to us, too, as we understand that natural is better, for you and our planet.  That's why we regularly stock quality-made clothing from sustainably sourced linens, cottons, merinos, silks, and more.

Many of our products never make it to the website, they get snapped up in store too quickly!  If you find yourself in New Plymouth, we welcome you to visit our boutique.  With ample free parking right outside, you will find us at:
