Rubettes! First 2025 letter from Yours Truly and – if I do say so myself – it’s a goodie.
In the true spirit of re-use, our RUBY Says Recycle Pop-Up in the iconic former Smith & Caughey’s Newmarket location is back for another round!
The details:
Open from January 21st until February 2nd
225 Broadway, Newmarket
Store hours:
Mon & Tue: 11:00am-4:00pm
Wed - Sat: 10:00am-5:00pm
Sun: 11:00am - 4:00pm
Not in Auckland? Or not into secondhand shopping? You can still contribute to this movement: bring back the RUBY and Liam pieces you no longer wear to any of our IRL stores and we’ll find it a new home. New year new you and all that jazz. See here for how the process works.
Thank you to all who contributed to making the Pop-Up such a success last year:
- Rubettes around the country who brought back their RUBY and Liam pieces
- The media who engaged with us so deeply on why we were doing this
- Rubettes who popped into the Pop-Up and had a play around with the clothes, patterns and fabric that were in our care
- Our wonderful team who were, for example, up on ladders creating fabric “walls” amirite 😉
- The Caughey family for let us be in your space, we have loved it. Honestly when I’m there I feel like I am Kevin from Home Alone
Here are some stats:

VOUCHERS ISSUED FOR THE RUBY AND LIAM PIECES YOU BROUGHT BACK TO US
We were blown away by your support for what was a really big leap for us. It has meant that it is possible for us to reopen for another couple of weeks, sprinkle our spirit along Broadway, and continue to show the world that actually, secondhand and splashes of colour can in fact be the height of luxury. It makes me so excited for what our next steps will be…
