Luxury stores on Auckland's Queen St have been targeted by vandals.
White paint has been splashed on the exterior of the Gucci and Prada stores in lower Queen St.
Black scrawls of graffiti have been tagged on the windows of Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Prada.
Only the Dior store escaped the vandalism, and hasn't been damaged in the overnight tagging.
The stores have not been opened this morning.
The white paint was splashed on the display windows at Gucci and Prada where the high-end luxury garments were on display. The paint had dripped down onto the footpath.
Pedestrians walking up Queen St have walked footprints of white paint up the street.
"It's not a good look," said a man in a suit taking a photo with his smart phone as he walked past the Prada store.
A worker from Graffiti Guard has begun scraping off the paint on the Gucci window.
Second-hand clothing can be a reservoir for many potentially dangerous microbes.
