ORBIS city intelligence
Choose your Auckland shopping stops according to what you want to buy and where you are staying. A particular record or bag may justify a dedicated visit, while a chocolate gift can be chosen at the branch that fits the rest of your day.
Real Groovy Records dates its first shop to 1981, and after several Queen Street addresses, it moved to 19 Victoria Street West in 2023. Its catalogue separates new music from secondhand vinyl and CDs, giving collectors different ways to look for a recordingS1.
Saben was founded by Roanne Jacobson in 2002 and named for her grandmother, Sarah Saben. The range includes leather handbags and work bags, with smaller formats for lighter use. Its boutiques include 97 Ponsonby Road and Shop 3 at 1 Teed Street in NewmarketS2.
Devonport Chocolates describes small-batch production in its Devonport kitchen. Chocolate bars and truffle slices sit alongside boxed assortments in the rangeS3. The shop at 17 Wynyard Street is in front of that kitchen. There is also a Commercial Bay branch on Little Queen Street, which gives central-city shoppers another optionS4.
