Glassons

Glassons is one of those staple ‘mainstream’ fashion houses that you can always buy something ‘in trend’ for a reasonable, affordable price. Glassons have great sales and reductions weekly and encourage you to shop online too. You can buy tees from $ 10, Summer/​Winter cardis from $ 20, sunglasses from $ 20, work pants for $ 40 etc… You can wash their ‘merino’ wool cardis, long-​sleeved tops and polar necks. The staff are usually friendly and accommodating — in a busy store like this one. The demographic is normally teens to thirty age group, however they stock lots of great basics (for everyone) that I buy every year. Who doesn’t have a black ‘Glassons’ cardi? If you are looking for a fashionable, seasonal item at a good price point — shop at Glassons — it’s difficult to beat!

As other reviewers have mentioned there is an awesome fit out in this flagship store. The layout is well designed too with the different styles and looks together as you keep walking through.
I’ll admit that I did got through a stage were I was over glassons, but I can admit I’m now a fan again. I’ve purchased some great pieces there over the last year, which i’ve gotten a lot of wear out of (and people have asked where I’ve got them from).
Make sure you spot the ‘Miss Who’ rack, these clothes are always a bit different and definitely worth a look! I got some really cool print jeans in this brand last year.
I think the staff are very attentive and helpful. When I was last there, one girl went upstairs to see if they had a top in my size, and this was no trouble.
Glassons is often my go to for new hosairy (and even socks recently), and when I was in their there the other day there was even some homewares to make your room look that bit more awesome.
I think you’re sure to find something you’ll like in Glassons. Give them a go if you haven’t visited in awhile. You might be surprised.

As a student in the city I have to pass by Glassons every single morning and evening as I walk from and to Britomart. I was never a fan of Glassons but their new do is the business. Gone are the days of basic Glassons set up the store now looks like an upmarket clothing store. There is free wifi in the store, the changing rooms look like mini booths and every once in the while the set up of the store changes depending on the season and what new line they are bringing in. If you are lucky there are sometimes sweet goodies at the back of the store, close to the sale items. I can’t say much about the service but the interior makes up for it.

I don’t shop at Glassons, so you might be wondering why I am reviewing it, well I went here with a friend the other day and I was so impressed by the interiors. They recently had a new fit out, I guess with the new branding and upping the ante on the fashion front by being a bit more cool and relevant their flagship Queen Street store had a haul over and it looks quite cool.
The front of the store is nothing spectacular but the further you go down the back you enter a wonderland, you will feel either like Alice or some Disney Princess as you pass the giant white horse and little bunnies on your way to the fitting rooms. The plastic chandeliers that look like something out of a cartoon are less than ordinary and all the pink carpet and soft yellow upholstery, waiting for my friend in the fitting rooms wasn’t bad at all. I thought to myself at the time that even though this space reminded me of a 10 year old girls bedroom it was really cool, I thought it was anyway. Check it out for yourself and see. (not sure if you’re allowed to sit on the life sized horse, didn’t say ‘keep off horse’.
Note on the service, it was good. Even when I was standing next to my friend the retail assistant called out to another one merchandising to come over to me. Attentive they are.
