This week Collected took over our Ponsonby Road store, being the first of our monthly collaborations with designers and friends of our brand. Roanne Jacobson (aka Mama Saben) says the idea is about the community; "sharing what we love with our customers, whilst also celebrating with other like-minded brands and businesses are doing so well!".

Our first month-long pop-up sees Collected owner and interior stylist LeeAnn Yare sharing our space, with an ever evolving curation of home and giftwares from her Mt Eden store. And on Wednesday night we had the grand opening of the Collected Takeover!

It was a stunning event that saw customers and friends from both stores brought together to sip on te Pa wine and Perrier sparkling water as well nibble on delicious Kapiti cheese! Not to mention, mix mingle and try out the latest products!

If you were here, mingling with us we would love to see your photos! Pop them up on instagram with #sabenandfriends - and if you didn't make it, be sure to come by the store to check out all of the amazing products!

We would like to say on behalf of both Saben and Collected, thank you to all those who braved the storm, as well as a BIG thank you to our marvellous sponsors, te Pa, Perrier and Kapiti- everything went down a treat!
