Fashion designer Karen Walker and David Hedley, owner of New Zealand's oldest bookshop, Hedley's Books of Masterton have come together to create the Playpark Summer 2017 Salon, which will see Karen's Newmarket store transformed into a pop-up bookshop until Christmas.
It will combine the designer’s love of the written word and Hedley’s Books’ celebration of being in business for 110 years.
To mark this significant birthday, along with the latest collection of Karen Walker fashion, jewellery, sunglasses et al, the pop-up store will stock just 110 titles hand-selected by this passionate duo.
Join Karen and David as they share why they love the books they do, with stimulating personal tales that take us around the world and capture the universal appeal of a good read. Their passion enthusiasm is contagious and inspiring.
