New Business - MAZU
Fashion designer Rene Aveyard has opened her flagship MAZU store at The Crossing.
Rene held three things at the forefront as she created Mazu: top-quality fabrics, simplistic designs and conscious construction.
South African-born and raised Rene’s first foray into the working world was in investment banking.
Living in London for many years and after travelling the world she settled in New Zealand, where she started the journey into her lifelong love – studying fashion.
After co-owning a clothing store in Cambridge for ten years, in 2020 she moved further in her fashion journey and created Mazu.
Understanding a woman’s form and how to flatter the silhouette, Rene’s aspiration with her label is to make women feel beautiful, strong and empowered.
The word Mazu holds roots in Chinese – sea goddess – and Japanese – first, in the first place.
With a strong belief against fast fashion and its environmental effects, Mazu pieces are crafted to transcend seasons.
With exceptional attention to detail, they’re pieces to be treasured in your wardrobe forever.
Timeless, elegant, feminine - it’s all synonymous with Mazu.
Rene has been in the fashion industry for many years and started her business in Cambridge New Zealand.
At some point, we will catch up with Rene to find out about her journey in the fashion industry and what are the things that drive her in business.
