Shakes

Step off Queen Street into Vulcan Lane and you’ll find SHAKES, a Downtown Auckland fashion store with a sharply curated point of view. The setting feels intimate and city-framed, with the laneway’s heritage character giving the shop a quietly distinctive backdrop.

Inside, discover a considered mix of contemporary clothing, accessories and lifestyle pieces, with collections spanning tees, pants, outerwear, caps, incense and fashion publications. The range brings together labels and collaborations such as lownn, MIYAGIHIDETAKA, Skate Muzik, Connie Costas, Kuumba International and ROGUES GALLERY.

SHAKES is especially suited to visitors who like retail with a strong editorial eye: pieces chosen for texture, silhouette, culture and detail rather than volume. Make your way here for a compact but memorable city-centre shopping stop with a refined streetwear sensibility.
