Awesome place to find treasures! And the staff are amazing! Highly recommend
Great place with so many unique things to buy, something for everyone, friendly team with a great vibe ✨️
Wow this store is something else! Cant believe I’ve only recently discovered. A must if you love vintage.
Absolute treasure-trove of "cool" stuff. Visited with my teenage daughter today and between the two of us we purchased items from four different stores in the emporium. Will definitely be back the next time we're in Christchurch.
Take a walk back into history, with beautiful stalls and great set ups, lots of variety and interesting pieces, friendly staff amd stall holders. From vintage furniture, oil lamps, records, gramaphones, classic outfits and clothing, stunning jewellery, statues, vintage clocks. A gorgeous flora stall, with fresh flowers and dried arrangements, old fashion lollies, gorgeous plates with hilarious quotes, vintage radios turned into Bluetooth speakers. Allow a couple of hours to wonder this magnificent space and take in all its glory. Go on a weekend to enjoy a coffee and food at the cool cordial, this little treasure will not disappoint, the food and coffee is delicious and made with so much love and soul.
