Ilka Boutique

Founded by artist and designer Abbey Mae, Ilka Boutique reflects a creative journey that spans continents. After years spent living abroad — exhibiting art, running a gallery in the UK, and gathering inspiration from wild landscapes around the world — Abbey has returned to New Zealand with a vision to create something truly unique.

Crafted Locally, Inspired by the Wild Ilka Boutique is a curated collection of artwork, homewares, and gifts, all designed with a signature blend of whimsy, warmth, and wild inspiration. Every design is illustrated by Abbey and made in small batches, supporting ethical production and encouraging shoppers to choose quality, locally designed goods over mass-produced alternatives. Each piece — from organic cotton kitchen textiles to illustrated stationery and art prints — reflects Abbey’s deep love of nature, storytelling, and sustainable craftsmanship. Inside, visitors can discover:

• Organic cotton kitchenware – stylish, sustainable, and locally designed

• Cosy cushions – bold, illustrated textiles that bring warmth and personality

• Illustrated stationery – thoughtful notebooks and greeting cards

• Vibrant wrapping paper and gift items – perfect for meaningful, mindful giving

• Original artwork and fine art prints – inspired by travel, nature, and wild landscapes

Hours:

Wednesdays to Saturdays from 11-4. Summer hours will come into effect in December.
