Step into timeless sophistication at Juliette Hogan, a boutique fashion destination nestled in the heart of The Crossing. Known for its elegant tailoring, thoughtful design, and commitment to New Zealand-made quality, the Juliette Hogan store in Christchurch is more than just a place to shop; it’s an experience grounded in care, style, and personal connection.
Since opening its doors at The Crossing in March 2021, Juliette Hogan has become a firm favourite for Christchurch locals looking for refined wardrobe staples and standout event wear. At the helm is store manager Lara, who brings over nine years of fashion retail experience and a passion for helping people feel confident in what they wear. “My mission when a customer comes in is to make them feel better leaving the store than they did when they first walked in,” she shares.
Juliette Hogan’s collections are designed with longevity in mind. Offering both elevated event pieces and luxurious loungewear, each garment is crafted from premium fabrics; think silk and linen blend dresses for formal occasions and cotton cashmere hoodies perfect for everyday wear. “It’s timeless and classic,” says Lara, noting that while the label attracts professional women, it also caters to anyone who appreciates understated elegance.
It’s this philosophy – quality over quantity – that makes Juliette Hogan such a special addition to The Crossing. Unlike trend-led fashion brands, the boutique’s focus is on delivering personal styling and building long-term relationships with clients. “Our foot traffic might be lighter compared to fast fashion, but it means we’re building rapport,” Lara explains.
The team at Juliette Hogan Christchurch is small and close-knit, with four staff members dedicated to creating an inviting and inspiring space. Assistant manager Courtney, who first visited the store as an ambassador for NZFW 2023, now plays a key role in day-to-day operations. “We sometimes look back and think how crazy it is that when we met, we wouldn’t have thought we’d end up working together as a team. I feel so lucky to have her alongside me.”
Lara describes her workdays as a balance of people management, event coordination, online orders, visual merchandising, stock management, 1 on 1 styling, client communication and administrative tasks, all underpinned by a genuine focus on service. “We’re often putting items aside for our loyal client base, sending pieces out to try, and helping clients build a wardrobe that works for their lifestyle.”
This emphasis on community doesn’t stop at the shop door. “I love being in The Crossing,” says Lara. From walking through Cathedral Square into work every morning, lunches at Gre3n and matcha from Elements to Yoga and Pilates classes at IHF Health Club, she’s immersed in the city centre’s vibrant lifestyle. “It’s a lovely community and we’re very lucky to be part of it.”
Juliette Hogan’s Christchurch store is a natural fit for The Crossing’s vision of boutique retail; considered, curated, and personal. Whether you’re looking to invest in a piece that lasts or simply want to feel uplifted by a beautiful shopping experience, a visit to Juliette Hogan might just be the highlight of your day.
