In 1880, Marianne Smith opened her own drapery store with the vision of providing the early pioneers of Auckland and beyond with quality merchandise at good value, with the best possible service.

And today, 130 years later, Smith & Caughey's has grown, becoming one of New Zealand's best-loved department stores. Our Queen Street store offers three floors of exciting shopping- Men's and Women's Fashion, Cosmetics, Fine Fragrance, Accessories and Homeware. The Newmarket store, which underwent major expansion and refurbishment in 2006, now offers an outstanding collection of Men's and Women's Fashion, Cosmetics, Fine Fragrance, Accessories and more.
