As a champion of New Zealand fashion, Anna McRitchie likes to mix classic pieces with quirky designer styles for her Clyde fashion store, Lily & Esther.

Opened a year ago the charming boutique has gone from strength to strength with its appealing high fashion from leading New Zealand brands.

“ The new spring season is pivotal in fashion and I’m thrilled to introduce  Twenty Seven Names to the store. It’s a beautiful NZ made range using high quality fabrics and trims by two designers who both studied fashion and art. “

Lily & Esther stocks Juliette Hogan, Staple + Cloth, Chaos & Harmony, Standard Issue, Company of Strangers and Kowtow.

“Kowtow is having a big fashion moment and their Building Block range is exceptional,” says Anna. “ The dresses are so versatile and wearable made from ethical and organic cottons using approved inks and dyes.”

Wanaka made George & Edi candles, Linda Kingi bracelets and eyewear by Karen Walker and Age are available in store as is the latest range of Yu Mei bags.

“The Yu Mei bags are understated luxury with a very cool vibe – our customers love them.”
