Specialist gift store Thieving Kea blends contemporary jewellery, textiles, clothing and designer goods in its special location in downtown Wānaka.

“Our small, charming cottage is directly across from Lake Wānaka offering quality and well-priced goods,” says owner Becky Roberts.

“We have beautiful winter items including cashmere beanies, super soft plaid scarves, mittens and gloves along with luxury merino scarves and wraps and fabulous felt wool hats.”

Thieving Kea supports New Zealand brands and specifically works with businesses owned by Australasian women.

“We believe that our supplier relationships must be ethical, transparent and support each other in business. Our women led team is second to none at looking after locals and visitors and we have amazing supplier partnerships. I love what the total sum of this brings to my life.”
