Thanks to a reader for pointing out that New Zealand-based men’s retailer Rodd & Gunn opened recently at Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek. Check out their online shop here.
From their website:
Aotearoa [Māori name for New Zealand] is Rodd & Gunn’s spiritual home, and we’re deeply connected to its untamed beauty and rich culture. Our collections are inspired by the raw, pure forms of nature found in our home country – the ancient mountains, glacial lakes, endless plains, and windswept high country.

Earlier this year we learned that the fur retailer Maximilian store was for lease and they are now closed for good in this spot. Interestingly, the wooden sign outside to the right has been tiled over. Although I prefer the wooden background from Anthropologie, and later Z Gallerie, I can see how this would be easier to maintain.
