One place.
Many makers.
The Collective brings a carefully selected collection of crafters together in one unique retail space in Hawera, Taranaki. Discover handmade, creative and original pieces in store, with a selection also available to shop online.
Shopping should still feel like discovery.
We believe shopping can be more personal, more creative and a lot more interesting when you can discover work made by talented people from our wider community.
The Collective is a shared retail space for a carefully selected group of crafters. Each maker is chosen to help create a high-quality, well-curated shopping experience, with a varied mix of products that gives you something new to discover every time you visit.
You can browse the full experience in our Hawera store, or shop a selected range of products online. Whether you are looking for a gift, something special for yourself, or simply want to see what local and independent makers are creating, The Collective brings it all together in one place.
Creativity is also something you can take part in. Our workspace is home to Splatter ceramic painting, along with workshops for both adults and children, giving you the chance to make, create and enjoy the experience for yourself.
We also make shopping easy with click & collect, gift wrapping, Afterpay and postage available. Visit us in store in Hawera or explore our selected range online and enjoy The Collective in the way that suits you.
The principles behind the shop.
From the crafters we select to the way we present their work, everything is designed to create a welcoming, creative and well-curated experience in store and online.
Curated
Every crafter is carefully selected to help create a high-quality mix of products that feels considered, varied and worth taking the time to explore.
Human
The Collective is built around real makers and the things they create, bringing their work together in a shared space where customers can discover something more personal.
Creative
Alongside shopping, Splatter ceramic painting and workshops for adults and kids make creativity part of the experience, not simply something on the shelf.
