Having come on board with the store five years ago, Rebe also launched her eponymous accessories label around the same time, providing New Zealand’s most fashionable with elevated pieces to cherish. Always a friendly face to see at either of Muse’s two locations, Rebe shares her suitably stylish influences and inspirations.
