Tholsie & Co. Blooms at The Crossing
From 1 August, The Crossing has welcomed a new addition that is as elegant as it is distinctive: Tholsie & Co. More than a florist, this is a place where nature’s raw, untamed beauty is shaped into refined works of art, and where every creation is designed to linger in memory.
Formerly known as Cashmere Gallery, Tholsie & Co. is the next chapter in a story that spans 36 years of floral craftsmanship. The new name is a heartfelt tribute to the woman who inspired it all, and marks an evolution beyond flowers into a space celebrating elegant, curated living.
Owner Melanie brings a rich blend of corporate expertise and creative instinct to the brand. With a background in dairy nutrition and manufacturing – including leadership as CEO and Chief of Operations – she has transferred her strategic vision into a creative world inspired by the wild elegance of nature. The result is a brand that balances boldness and grace, delivering moments that feel both timeless and unique.
Step inside Tholsie & Co.’s new store at The Crossing, and you’ll find a collection that moves effortlessly from classic to contemporary. Every bouquet is a study in texture, tone, and form; hand-selected blooms arranged to capture both the vibrancy of the season and the individuality of the client. The space itself reflects the brand’s ethos: refined yet welcoming, with an appreciation for the imperfect beauty of the natural world.
A Floral Experience for Every Occasion
Tholsie & Co. offers more than beautiful flowers. Their services extend from flower subscriptions – bringing seasonal arrangements to homes and offices on a schedule that suits – to wedding florals tailored to reflect each couple’s story, and corporate and event designs that make a statement. They also create heartfelt funeral and sympathy arrangements, crafted with sensitivity and care.
Collaboration is at the heart of their approach, whether it’s partnering with local businesses to enhance their spaces or working closely with clients to bring a vision to life. Each project is handled with the same attention to detail, quality, and personal connection that has been the hallmark of the business since its earliest days.
A Natural Fit for The Crossing
The Crossing is known as Christchurch’s retail heart; a curated mix of heritage architecture, contemporary design, and distinctive shopping and dining experiences. Here, local and international fashion meets beauty, lifestyle, and now, the botanical artistry of Tholsie & Co.
This boutique florist sits comfortably alongside The Crossing’s mix of premium retailers, offering visitors the chance to discover something unexpected and inspiring on every visit. Whether you are seeking a gift, marking a celebration, or simply indulging in the pleasure of fresh flowers, Tholsie & Co. invites you to linger, explore, and take home something truly special.
Tholsie & Co.’s original store at 12 Colombo Street remains open, continuing to serve the community with the same trusted service. But at The Crossing, a new chapter is in full bloom, one that celebrates roots, elegance, and the beauty of the wild. Get in touch or order online here.
