Luxury Shopping in Queenstown: Where to Find Exclusive Shopping

A Refined Retail Landscape

Queenstown’s shopping scene has shifted: some older stores have closed, while newer, carefully curated boutiques have opened or expanded. If you want exclusive pieces — beautifully crafted fashion, unique jewellery, and luxury accessories — here are the current destinations you shouldn’t miss.

Where to Shop for Exclusive Finds

• Angel Divine — A fashion institution in Queenstown since 1997, recently relocated its flagship to Beach Street. Carries a curated selection of NZ & international designers like Holland Cooper (exclusive stockist in NZ/Australia), Karen Walker, Zambesi, Marle, and more. Also has a second store in Arrowtown on Buckingham Street.

Style & Shopping Tips for a Luxurious Day Out

• Dress for the weather and occasion: Queenstown’s weather changes fast. Layering from places like Te Huia helps — high-quality outerwear + elegant basics = both style and comfort.

• Footwear choice counts: Walking between boutiques, up slopes, through laneways is easier when you have stylish but sturdy shoes. R.M.Williams leather boots or UGGs can do both.

• Seek out exclusivity: Boutiques like Angel Divine often stock NZ designers that you won’t find elsewhere, or hold exclusive collections (e.g. Holland Cooper in Angel Divine).

• Plan your routing: Start your shopping in central Queenstown (Rees St, Beach St), include Arrowtown if time, and finish with jewellery/accessory specialists. That way, transport (like via QT Cars) maximises comfort, time, and style.
