A new premium clothing store boasting designer labels including Trelise Cooper, Karen Walker, World and Adrienne Winklemann is set to open at The Cargo Shed this weekend, raising money for Tauranga SPCA and children in Cambodia.
The Tauranga version of Eva's Attic, originally co-founded in Wellington by former Telecom chief executive Theresa Gattung, will be officially opened on Thursday night with the store open to the public from 10am until 4pm every Saturday and Sunday and while cruise ships are in port from next month.
Founder of the The Cambodia Charitable Trust Tauranga lawyer Denise Arnold said the idea to open an Eva's Attic sister store in Tauranga came about after local clothing store Repertoire donated clothing to the Wellington store. Eva's Attic will feature new Trelise Cooper items as well as pre-loved premium designer labels donated by Western Bay, Hawkes Bay and Auckland women.
"Anything that we can't use we can either take to Cambodia or we can donate to other charities," Mrs Arnold said.
Other stock has also been sourced from Eva's Attic Wellington which opened in April 2010 and supports six different charities.
