Having grown from a converted garage on Oriental Parade to a household name in New Zealand, Cre8iveworx’s empire has spread to Petone - a welcome development for fashion lovers across the Lower Hutt region.
Behind the stained-glass windows that greet customers lies an ornately designed shop, where the creativity of the fitout matches the diversity of the product range. Set against a blank white backdrop, the store is subtly divided into sections marked by a mix of textures, with brick walls mirroring the exposed concrete on the other side. Clean lines and open spaces allow each product to shine, with neatly laid out shelves and racks providing a sense of order. Two changing booths dominate one side of the space, the luxurious navy drapes inviting you in to try on a piece or two.
Cre8iveworx prides itself on offering a diverse array of goods that cater to all occasions. From timeless fashion pieces and accessories to exceptional homeware and art, the store is a treasure trove for those seeking uniquely Kiwi quality and individuality. The collection features beloved New Zealand designers alongside select international brands, all curated for their thoughtful design and superior craftsmanship.
The shop’s ever-evolving selection ensures there's always something new to explore, making each visit a unique experience. And with a team that brings a genuine passion for truly connecting with customers, Cre8iveworx is a contemporary reminder of what a shopping experience should be like.

There are picturesque parks and walking trails, bountiful shopping, arts scenes and an array of culinary delights, and this guide is designed to help you make the most of two days spent immersed in this vibrant community.
Upper Hutt
Upper Hutt can perhaps be best described as a harmonious juxtaposition. While much of it can have a gritty, industrial feel, largely due to its history, it’s also a real breath of fresh air and home to some of the best natural places to explore in the country. The city has embraced both of these qualities over the years to turn itself into an immensely popular place to visit.
From the sprawling Kaitoke Regional Park, with its swimming holes, walking tracks, and its own little slice of Middle Earth, to the ever-popular Staglands Wildlife Reserve, there are plenty of spots to explore for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Venture towards the heart of the city centre and you’ll encounter Brewtown, a beer craft connoisseur and foodie’s paradise that also doubles as an entertainment hub.
Sprinkled elsewhere throughout the city you’ll find art galleries, cosy cafes, and all manner of eateries from chicken shops to sandwich bars to keep you nourished.
