Kate Sylvester opens stylish central-city store

Kate Sylvester has opened her second Christchurch store on the city's bustling Cashel Street.

The large store is fresh, bright and bursting with the colours of her new Kraftwork collection.

It also takes a mindful approach to sustainability. FSC sustainable plantation-grown timber is featured throughout the store, as is recycled brass. The custom-built furniture and fixtures were made with care by Kiwi craftsmen, too.

Sylvester told Cityscape her latest collection "honours the craft of fashion".

"The signature prints in the collection evolved from a personal tapestry project of mine and I incorporated beautiful craft techniques throughout the collection, including blanket stitching, cross stitch and intarsia," she said.

When it comes to Kraftwork, we've got our eyes on the striking Lucy dress, the bright pink Holly jumper and the preppy Lee dress.

Make sure you swing by the new store and say hello to the wonderful team next time you're in town for a spring shop.
