A cute boutique store stocking everything you didn’t know you needed.
Nestled away near the top of Cuba St is Madame Fancy Pants, a cute boutique store stocking everything you didn’t know you needed. And with many items one-of-a-kind, you really do need them. Owner and designer Claire Terry makes jewellery in-store under the label Madame Fancy Pants. This store is definitely one to visit if you’re after an authentic Wellington experience, straying from repetitive chain stores.
From clothes and jewellery to bags, baby things, crafts and stationery, you’re bound to find something for that special someone (you). Their stock changes frequently; emphasis is on quality, rather than quantity. There’s no need to sort through endless racks of clothes and other wares, because they select only the best to be sold in store. It’s worth checking in regularly to keep an eye out for new hidden gems, or at the very least stroll past the ever-beautiful window display. Madame Fancy Pants is an ideal go-to if you’re after a quirky yet beautiful outfit for an evening out, or jewellery pieces that are more like individual pieces of art, which make excellent gifts.
The staff are genuinely lovely and extremely helpful, with insightful product knowledge and tips for finding gifts. If you’re in a hurry, check out their super informative and simple website in advance, or shop online
