From our mid-year dinner gathering with family and friends
We believe home to be a place that echoes one’s values, reminds us of where we’ve been and replenishes us for our days ahead. A living, shapeable space that adapts through the seasons and hums with the energy of its owner. TESSUTI aims to assist in building this sanctuary one piece at a time. Our selection of homewares, furnishings and gifts, sourced both locally and abroad, from makers we respect & admire, are each chosen because they enrich our lives with a unique quality.
Our store houses objects that we love, that we use in our own homes, and that we believe you, too, will enjoy. TESSUTI, essentially, is our house. And like good friends, we’re here to share.

notes from our customers
“The items that you sell are an absolute delight and I always get drawn into your website when browsing instagram!”
“Thank you Ali and team for this lovely message. I adore your curation of items. I’m so grateful there are still people in NZ that value artisanal craftsmanship, design and products. I spend very carefully and mindfully on pieces I value and love to support stores like yours.”
“I am pleased to report after deliberating over which vase to buy, that I am very happy with my choice. It was a pleasure shopping in your store and the lovely man who served me had the patience of Job. He was fabulous.”
“I just wanted to thank you for your excellent advice re sizing for the A’Court Ellis pant in Royal Airforce. The size XS are an absolute perfect fit for me. I couldn’t have wanted for a better quality relaxed pant in terms of fit and quality of design.”
