Ponsonby and K Road Op Shops and Second Hand Stores
There are plenty of clothing recycle shops on Ponsonby and K Roads however I’m more into finding gorgeous retro and vintage second hand homeware. So I skipped the clothing only stores and visited 6 stores listed below. On this trip I came home with not much to show for the experience, it does mean plenty to spend another day. If you weren’t aware K Road is short for Karangahape Road and is located in Auckland City.

Shops Visited
The op shops I visited excluding the Red Cross Shop are more up market with a variety of clothing and a small amount of homewares so make sure your pockets are deep. The Boutique for SPCA was mainly clothes with a small amount of second hand homewares but again you need deep pockets so not really for those looking for a bargain.
Peter Rogers Real Time is an antique store with walls and floor bursting with goods and I love all that he has though I’m not sure anything will be ever coming home with me. A shop to hunt for treasures but not for the bargain hunter
Flotsam and Jetsam another antique type store and I have bought a few bits and pieces from this store. It does have an interesting range of goods, and is easy to navigate but generally not for the bargain hunter.
