About

Purple Patch serves North Island from 200 Emerson Street, Napier South, Napier 4110, New Zealand. Visitors have given Purple Patch a 4.7 out of 5 average across 6 reviews, a high score from a small group of shoppers. Reaching the shop from the main centres is straightforward, since Napier sits on the North Island's road network and hire cars are the usual way to travel. Auckland, Wellington, Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga and New Plymouth are the other main places travellers link to Napier.

The shop is a gift shop, which is what its category signals to shoppers on Emerson Street. Opening hours run Mo-Fr 10:00-16:00 and Sa 10:00-14:00, so weekday visits give the widest window. Its Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/PurplePatchHandcrafts, provides further reference. The location on Emerson Street places it in Napier South, the city's central shopping area.

New Zealand's temperate maritime climate keeps summers mild and winters largely snow-free at low altitude, which suits year-round travel. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names appear on signs throughout the country. Traffic drives on the left across New Zealand.

Purple Patch occupies a position in central Napier that makes it a local stop for gift shoppers, and its review record reflects steady custom from the surrounding city.
