The Walk in Wardrobe - Frankton

The Walk in Wardrobe in Frankton is a secondhand and consignment clothing store that brings a genuine thrift-shopping culture to the Queenstown area. Stocked with pre-loved fashion, furniture, and homewares, it operates out of The Landing on Hawthorne Drive — a convenient spot for locals heading through Frankton rather than into the busier town centre. The mix of clothing, accessories, and home goods means you can walk in looking for a winter layer before a day on The Remarkables and walk out with a lamp and a vintage jacket too. With a 4.6-star rating across more than 100 reviews, the store has clearly earned repeat loyalty from the community.

What sets it apart in a region dominated by outdoor gear retailers and tourist-facing boutiques is its focus on value and variety. This is a store where Queenstown residents actually shop — people furnishing a Frankton flat, refreshing a wardrobe on a budget, or hunting for something with a bit of character. The consignment model means stock turns over regularly, so there is always a reason to come back. Whether you are new to the area or a long-term local, it rewards the kind of unhurried browse that most of Queenstown's retail scene does not really invite.
