FAQs
We are a completely localised business, designing, tailoring, and producing our collection pieces using traditional (old school) techniques. We only use top quality fabrics, components and trims. Our garments are made to the highest quality standards, with meticulous care taken in every process, and with every individual involved in the production process.
Throughout the year, we release small curated collections of statement pieces that join our permanent styles. We offer warm and cool climate garments all year round for the convenience of those who travel.
With our designer's in-depth knowledge of couture pattern making and tailoring, and because one size does not fit all, we offer the service of customising our garments to the perfect fit and proportions of every individual at no extra charge.
During the design and development process, every piece is scrutinised and thoroughly wear-tested to ensure that our customers can love and enjoy our garments for years to come. In the unlikely event that something is wrong or faulty with the garment, we will always act in good faith.
We invest a lot of time in getting to know our customers and their needs; most of whom have become great friends. With this in mind, we do not share any information, gossip, or details about our customers as a rule.
Our collections are designed and manufactured entirely in New Zealand.
Every one of our garments is pattern made and cut by hand in our workroom.
Our fabrics, trims & components are all sourced locally.
Our entire team and all contractors are Auckland-based.
We are a direct to customer design company so do not wholesale to retailers.
For now, we have chosen to sell directly from our atelier workroom; forgoing retail 'bricks & mortar' overheads enables our garments to be priced without inflated margins.
Our entire focus is on our customers, design and fit, quality of materials and construction of each individual garment.
Our collection can be viewed in our Herne Bay Atelier.
If you would like to view the collection in person or require a customised garment, please make an appointment with our Studio Manager, by contacting us at hello@reine.nz. We would love to see you!
We offer the same customised service by way of video call and in some cases, by sending the sample garments to try on for size.
Made to Measure garments are pieces of our collection made specifically to your proportions. Because our garments are always cut by hand and produced individually, our Made to Measure service is at no extra charge to our customers.
We make our garments for every body and every size.
If you reside out of Auckland, the best way to get the process started is by contacting us at hello@reine.nz to set up a time to discuss the style, fabric and fit.
We will arrange a video call with you and take your measurements, so that we can then make and send you a toile (your garment in calico fabric). When you have received your toile garment, we have another meeting with you to look at the fit and length before we cut the finished garment. This process works well with our overseas and out-of-Auckland customers. In many cases, we can courier a sample to you to try on (if we have your size).
Alternatively, we can make an in person appointment to visit our Auckland atelier.
We aim to ship custom garments within 1-3 weeks of purchase. There is no additional charge for custom fit garments. We will inform you of the shipping date once your garment is in production.
We produce reduced units of our range to ensure that our limited edition fabric is available for 'made to measure' and customised garments.
With limited runs we may not always have stock available.
Please register with us so we can keep you informed of restocks and planned new release style drops.
We will not spam you with unwanted correspondence, and your personal information will not be shared in any way with other parties.
