Nestled in Waipu’s stunning Nova Scotia Heritage Building at 1 Cove Road, Cove Collective offers values-led shopping that celebrates conscious consumerism and community connection. This beautifully curated retail space brings together a carefully selected collection of gifts, homewares, clothing, and jewellery from New Zealand owned and operated brands that prioritise sustainability, fair trade practices, and ethical production.
Created by the team behind Husk and Honey and partnered with Bohemia, Cove Collective is more than just a store. It’s a collaborative space designed by women, for the community, where like-minded shoppers can discover products that align with their values. The store is proudly woman-led, focusing on supporting local artisans, makers, and conscious brands that share a commitment to quality craftsmanship and environmental responsibility.
The product range is a treasure trove of thoughtfully sourced items. From stunning handmade pieces by local artists, potters, and authors to well-known sustainable brands like NED, Wooden Horse, and Trade Aid, every item tells a story. Bohemia brings beautiful cotton and linen clothing from New Zealand designers alongside the Australian label Lazybones, celebrating slow fashion and artisan craftsmanship. Velvet Heartbeat, New Zealand’s only 100% vegan bag and accessories brand, showcases innovative plant-based leather alternatives made from cactus and apple leather.
Browse collections of essential oils, aromatherapy products, candles, self-care items, plants, art, rugs, cushion covers, and unique accessories. Whether you’re shopping for baby gifts, home decor, or treating yourself to ethically made jewellery, Cove Collective ensures every purchase supports sustainable practices and local enterprise.
The warm and inviting atmosphere, often with owner Bronwyn managing the store, makes shopping here a genuinely pleasant experience. Cove Collective proves that conscious shopping doesn’t mean compromising on style or quality. It’s a space where community values, beautiful design, and ethical business practices come together perfectly in the heart of Waipu.
