I love the ethos behind the store - and the quality products

I have shopped here a few times now. i've been thoroughly impressed with the quality of products on the store and I've been super happy with everything I've received. I love the ethos behind the store - that the store is NZ owned and gives a proportion of profits to charity - how few merchants do that these days?!
