Beautiful womenswear label Ingrid Starnes opened their second boutique last week, this time on Auckland's ever-popular shopping strip Ponsonby Road. The store concept was created by designer Ingrid Starnes and her partner Simon Pound, and has stunning curved copper features and charming hanging plants which were done in collaboration with interior and landscape designer Xanthe White. The effect is spectacular against the white walls and natural timber floors, and makes the glorious prints of the current summer collection that much more vibrant.
The new store stocks the full Ingrid Starnes seasonal fashion collections, as well as their successful self-titled beauty and fragrance products, which have rapidly grown in popularity since their launch in 2013. Interestingly it was the copper labels on the beauty products that inspired the copper features in the new boutique and there is even a copper bowl with running water for testing the sublimely scented products in-store. This lovely new store is definitely worth a visit on your next shopping trip to Ponsonby Road.
