Katie Revie @ REVIE
What do you love about your store? I love that the space and fit-out reflects our clean, curated brand aesthetic. It is a fantastic space to spend the day in and reflects a serene luxurious environment. Along with our range of Revie shoes we are lucky enough to also stock the beautiful clothing collections from Lucy McIntosh and Mia Undone. It is great to work with other young designers and to be able to support one another with lots of opportunities for collaboration.
What makes a standout retail salesperson? A standout retail salesperson is relaxed, personable and engaging. Shopping should be an enjoyable experience!
Tell us about a memorable sale you’ve made this year... We have had a few ladies come in early in the year and purchase the same shoe in multiple colours, it’s always a compliment. If you know what you like and what you get wear out of, it’s great to invest!
If you could wave your wand and have anyone in the world walk into your store right now, who would it be? Marion Cotillard - she is a fabulously chic woman!
If you could wave your wand and have anyone in greater Ponsonby walk into your store right now, who would it be? Freda Stark (not a living legend but a legend in her own time).
Where do you enjoy shopping? I don’t think you can beat the Ponsonby strip for a mix of established and new-era New Zealand designers. It is also an exciting time for the area with the new Vinegar Lane development opening soon.
Name someone you think is a great greater Ponsonby retail salesperson… Lynette from Zora Bell Boyd - she is so lovely and so chic. Definitely a store worth a visit!
