Designer Tanya Carlson to close Ponsonby Rd store after 21 years

Renowned New Zealand fashion designer Tanya Carlson has announced the closure of her long-standing retail store on Ponsonby Rd, with its final trading day set for June 8.

After 21 years at the location, Carlson is shifting her business to focus on online sales and stockists across the country, citing changing retail trends, demographic shifts, and unaffordable rents as key factors.

The store’s closure will be marked by an end-of-lease sale featuring discounted, sample, and archival pieces.

  1. Council rates (passed on in rent increases?) strike again? WCC is one of the worst offenders, I can think of but I’m sure Auckland is bad too.

    • Yep, I heard that council rates increase if a shop is leased here (central N.I.). God knows what they do with the money left over from the consultants and new vehicles although the cost of old books for the library must be pretty steep.

      • If ’employment’ for umpteen parasites is created by umpteen other parasites, it is no wonder that at the end general economic viability for working/producing people comes to an end.
        Just look at these stooges: unemployable in the private sector, vain and narcissistic in their self-worth, arrogant in their role of mini-king or mini-queen, undermining valuable social cohesion.
        Aggravating is that this goes on in local governance as well as in national governance.

  2. This is all just council doing their part in the effort to force everyone to shop on-line for everything as the globalists want a cashless society, which will bring complete control of us all.
