Specialising in unique and homegrown designs, Rex was a favourite dispensary of fashion for the Hollywood hunks and starlets who invaded Wellington during the filming of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Local design features heavily at Rex Royale, making it a haven for those who like to buy kiwi-made and support homegrown talent.

Beginning in 1997 – now over ten years old, folks! – Rex Royale specialised in dead men's threads, with owner Jacqi Condra getting up at ungodly hours on Saturday mornings to scour the warehouses for fabulous vintage gear. The retro threads are long gone, replaced by Dr Rex's personal favourites in the realms of streetwear, casual and cool.
Rex Royale's racks of iconic kiwi t-shirts have made it a favourite among tourists and New Zealanders sending kiwiana keepsakes to ex-pat family and friends abroad.
Music is no stranger to Rex Royale either, with the all-day long Bed-to-Air for World Peace being staged from Rex Royale's front window, morphing the space into part-bed, part-stage for Wellington performers like Tommy Ill, Barnaby Weir (The Black Seeds) and Module.
