Dual

Like the aesthetics of her current collection Caroʼs new retail store, looking out onto the

Farmers Market in Matakana Village, will tug at fashionistas heartstrings as she says the

DUAL store embodies a whimsical sense of romanticism. “I feel very fortunate to have two

retail shops in the most stunning places in New Zealand”. While Matakanaʼs surroundings

are the visual antithesis of Lyttelton, the common denominator between the two is their

exceptional service including alterations and hemming on the spot.

“Working closely with our customers, patterns and styles are constantly evolving to find the

perfect cut and fit. Through popular demand we are back producing womans and mens

fashion, as the entire process from design , pattern making, cutting, machining to retail takes

place in-house we are able to ensure DUALs garments are of the highest quality.”

Stylish and durable, these designs liberate people who struggle to find the “perfect” fit and

want the satisfaction of purchasing a well-tailored garment that will stand the test of time. It

is for those people who demand a sustainable product in today’s throwaway society.
