Winter warmth comes in every layer at this enduring store in the Christchurch fashion scene.

“New season stock has arrived, from iconic labels like Vassalli and Lisette, and beloved local brands Bittermoon, Blackstone and Royal Merino,” says Made in the Shade owner Ali Donn. She’s the woman behind the beautiful collection you’ll find at the Colombo Street store, where wardrobes come to life with everything from knitwear and winter coats to beautiful blouses, cardigans, pants and skirts.

As for fabrics, “We’re seeing such a rise in velvet right now,” Ali explains, highlighting prominent corduroy and viscose pieces. For winter layering without the weight, Ali stocks a collection of linen garments from Naturals by O&J, a brand inspired by coastal and urban life.
