Binders, books & flair!
Welcome to Aoteaora New Zealand's one stop queer shop for all your gender affirming, pride merch, and LGBTQAI+ bookstore needs.
We're run by queers, for queers, and have tried almost everything in store (so we only stock the good stuff!). Everything in store is designed or made by queer, BIPOC and feminist makers. We also give away 10% of all our online sales each month, and every Community Fund donation goes to local queer charities.
Check out our pop up page for when we're going to be in your area - we love to see you! Feel free to flick us a message if there's anything you'd like us to consider stocking, or if you have any questions about what we do x

A Single Man Review
I felt so torn reading this book. On the one hand, it is beautifully written. It’s one of the best pieces of prose I’ve read in a long time. It is, rightfully, a classic. Isherwood writes about grief and ageing, what it means to keep living even after loss. It takes place over a single day, the main character’s last day alive, and uses the same stream of consciousness style of writing as some of Isherwood’s younger contemporaries, but feels much more accessible and deliberate than a lot of the Beats.
