What to know about Harris Tapper
A womenswear label, not menswear
Harris Tapper designs for women: sculptural blazers, poplin shirts, trousers, knitwear and slip dresses, in a restrained minimal palette.
Tailoring and shirting carry the range
The collection is built around work-to-evening tailoring and shirts rather than seasonal statement pieces, which is where the mid-to-high pricing sits.
Young Auckland label, expanding outward
Founded in 2017 by Sarah Harris Gould and Lauren Tapper, it showed its first runway at New Zealand Fashion Week in 2025 and is moving into the US.
