The Smile Says It All.

One of the highlights of last weeks Centennial Celebrations was getting to present a pair of shoes to a couple of winners in a promotion.

Mark stole the show when Nick Mills gave him a call live on air to tell him he had won. His genuine reaction and joy at winning was priceless. His wedding outfit was sorted, but all that was missing was the shoes.

He had checked out our website and seen the range we had on offer. We really appreciated his enthusiasm and fantastic comments about our store, so it was awesome to meet them both on Sunday when he came in to select his shoes.

And what a great choice. The Chester Wingtip Brogue. Hand crafted and coloured by the amazing team at Calzoleria Toscana. A beautiful shoe that will complement his ensemble perfectly.

We also presented them both with a bottle of our special 100 Years wine, thanks to and wished them all the best for their wedding day. Hopefully Mark will send us a pic or two of him wearing his new shoes.

Cheers 🥂

We were recently shown a copy of an Auge International book of New Zealand business and industry from 1974. Featured among its many pages was a double page spread on Vance Vivian, with these amazing images of the Auckland store located within the 246 building on Queen Street.

As we celebrated 100 years this week, discovering this story not only added more insight into our past but also highlighted some of the influences and principles that would shape the next 50 years.

100 Years - What A Journey.

We love our history and looking back through old photos, advertisements and even the personal diaries of George Vance, has brought back many memories and stories.

What are your recollections from visiting one of our stores? Do you remember the original Vance Vivian in Wellington? Or the Christchurch or Auckland stores? A favourite item of clothing? Or first suit?

Our latest newsletter went out today with a very brief history of the last one hundred years. The real stories could fill a few books, we are sure of that. But the newsletter will have to do for now. Link below.

Thank you for following along and for your support. We have a few things planned over the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned for more information.

And as part of our celebrations, we have partnered with another family business – – to create a very special shoe.

Comes in an exclusive custom made box, with shoe horn, spare laces and a satin shoe bag.
