A&C Wins Best Homewares Store 2024-25

We are over the moon to be announced as the New Zealand winner of the Best Homewares Store in the GIA Awards for 2024-2025 and feel honoured to be in the same league as past winners ‘Citta, Paper Plane, Green with Envy and Smith & Caughey's and are looking forward to representing New Zealand on the global stage in Chicago in early 2025.

The Global Innovation Awards (GIA) is a Global competition that operates in 13 countries and celebrates innovation and excellence in homewares and retail around the world.

Retailers are evaluated on their overall mission statement, vision and strategy; store design and layout; visual merchandising, displays and window displays; marketing, advertising and promotions; customer service and innovation.
