A stylish, classic find from a vintage Carnegie Modes label, this navy and white checked suit epitomises timeless tailoring and everyday elegance. Featuring a peplum jacket with fabric‑covered buttons, elbow‑length sleeves, and a matching skirt, it offers a polished silhouette that’s perfect for work or styled more casually. The fabric feels like a cotton or cotton‑blend with a comfortable structure ideal for vintage layering.
Garments bearing the Carnegie Modes name — while not widely documented in fashion archives — are recognised as part of New Zealand’s vintage clothing landscape, indicative of a period when many quality pieces were made locally or through independent NZ labels before overseas manufacturing became the norm.
Styling Tips:
-
-
Wear together with classic heels and a sleek bag for office or day events.
-
Mix and match the jacket with tailored trousers or the skirt with a simple blouse for versatile modern wear.

from 133 reviewsThis store is like a box of candies - so bright, cheerful and full of interesting finds. I had a fantastic experience. The sales assistant lady was friendly, very knowledgeable and helpful.
I just love the black gothic-print jeans I bought, and will be happy to come back for more treasures.
Very pleased with my purchase and great service.
Awesome selection and excellent service,fast delivery! Definitely worth purchasing from
Love this store! Beautiful colourful patterned fabrics and good price :) staff are friendly and awesome and I love seeing the window displays always changing
Very helpful and a really fun experience trying on many beautiful things. Great prices too
It was my first time shopping at Peppermint Twist and I really enjoyed the shop. They had lots of fun things.
I purchaged a skirt, funky shoes and some earring.
Such great service! A courtesy phone call when an item I'd ordered couldn't be sent. A beautiful Erstwilder brooch wrapped really well for the journey to me. Thanks so much!
Fabulous and fast service - went the extra mile to gift wrap and post a gift for me
Excellent experience while shopping with my nervous teenager. Owner was helpful and engaging and we came home with a great outfit.
Perfect size and colour. Thanks
This size 10 Big Foot Cinderella stumbled upon her Unicorn Shoes from American Duchess and snaffled them up immediately. (On Afterpay). Having visited the shop a few days previously for the first time, I knew that the advertised shoes were a bona fide product and as a one off item wouldn’t be around for long. This Thrifty Shopper is elated with her purchase, honestly I can’t thank you enough. I’d never have the opportunity to own such a luxurious item if it wasn’t for Peppermint Twist. Also having been told they could be returned for a store credit voucher I felt confident to purchase them without trying them on.
Always amazing to visit
Incredible store with incredible staff! I've purchased both in person and online, and can't say enough about how smooth the purchase was, how inviting the space is, and how cared for the staff made me feel. Don't be intimidated by the prices, each piece incredibly well cared for and sold for no more than it's worth, you'll have a hard time finding the same quality and range for less. If you're looking for true vintage or reproduction at reasonable prices then this is the place for you. 10/10!
Absolutely loved this place. Great customer service. Awesome range of products and items. Had the best time visiting and would reccomend to anyone to visit.
A very professional trader , I bought a beautiful quality piece of jewellery that I am thrilled with. It arrived very quickly , was well wrapped & arrived safely. This trader is extremely efficient & I am 100 percent satisfied & I can highly recommend this business.
