Zippy

About

Found on North Island, Zippy operates from R. Sara Afonso, 4460-284 Sra. da Hora, Portugal. The business works as a tailor, handling alterations and made-to-measure garments for customers who want clothing fitted properly. Reaching the premises from Auckland, Wellington, Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier or New Plymouth involves cross-island travel, so visitors should plan the trip around a wider North Island itinerary rather than a quick detour.

The address sits in Sra. da Hora, and the workshop takes in the kind of garment work that needs a fitting rather than an off-the-peg purchase. Clients have given the tailor a 4.1 out of 5 average across 67 reviews, a respectable score for a small workshop. First-time customers should expect to discuss measurements and fabric choices in person, with turnaround arranged around the work involved.

Opening hours are not something the workshop publishes, so a call ahead is the practical way to arrange a fitting. The website at https://zippyonline.com/?utm_source=googleMyBusiness&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=3062 carries the details of what the workshop takes on. Sra. da Hora sits within reach of the towns listed above, so the visit can be folded into a wider island itinerary.

Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country. Fish and chips, meat pies and flat whites are everyday takeaway staples across New Zealand.
