Our Story

Welcome to The Golden Apple, where goodness, style, and heartfelt inspiration converge. Allow us to introduce ourselves, the founders of this enchanting venture: Caroline and Mike.

 

Caroline - A North Canterbury Girl

Caroline's roots trace back to the picturesque landscapes of North Canterbury, New Zealand. Raised amidst the rolling hills and natural beauty of this region, she developed a deep appreciation for the simple pleasures of life. Caroline's journey led her to recognize the profound impact that beauty and meaningful objects can have on our daily experiences.

 

Mike - A Central Otago Boy

Hailing from the stunning landscapes of Central Otago, Mike's upbringing was immersed in the rugged charm and adventurous spirit of this South Island gem. His love for exploration and the thrill of the outdoors instilled in him a passion for embracing life to its fullest.

The Name: A Tribute to Caroline's Mother

The name "The Golden Apple" carries a profound personal connection. It's a tribute to Caroline's mother, who once owned a store on the West Coast of New Zealand under the same name. Just like the treasures found in her mother's store, The Golden Apple seeks to capture the essence of beauty, uniqueness, and genuine connection.

Our journey is rooted in these diverse backgrounds, merging Caroline's appreciation for the finer things in life with Mike's adventurous spirit. Together, we aim to curate a collection of carefully chosen items that transcend mere possessions and become an integral part of your life's story.

At The Golden Apple, we believe that beauty, inspiration, and goodness are not luxuries but essential elements that enrich our lives. Our selection of handpicked treasures is a testament to this belief. Each item has a story, a purpose, and a place in your heart.

As founders, we invite you to join us on this magical journey where every visit to The Golden Apple is an opportunity to discover, connect, and create moments of joy. We are excited to be a part of your story, and we look forward to sharing the wonder of The Golden Apple with you.

Welcome to our world, where every item is a golden invitation to experience life's beauty and goodness in its fullest bloom.
