KEY POINTS:
Fashion public relations consultant Caroline Brown was devastated to return from her Christmas-New Year break to find her office ransacked and clothes, bags and jewellery samples stolen.
Ms Brown, who runs Process Fashion PR in Eden Terrace, Auckland, is offering a cash reward for any information leading to the return of the goods.
Her clients' sample collection featured items from Lonely Hearts, Deadly Ponies, Ruby, Madame Hawke, Dem Penny Jewels, Company of Strangers and Boom Skateboarding.
Two computers and photography equipment were also stolen from Stephen Tilley's Stil Photography, which shares the office with Process.
Ms Brown said the office was closed from December 23 until January 9, but she believed the items were stolen between December 24 and 29.
"These were our clients' sample collection for next autumn winter 2009/10, and we really need our stock back.
"I've been in business for 9 years, and I've never had to deal with anything like this."
