Heritage Australian brand RB Sellars has made its way across the ditch to Aotearoa, and has opened two brick-and-mortar stores in the country this year. From humble beginnings as a catalogue business, it has grown into a beloved name known for its classic and durable – yet stylish – range of functional and hard-wearing workwear for both men and women, plus a large collection of casual wear, farm wear and a teen-and-kids range. Shepherdess takes RB Sellars to West Wānaka Station with Samantha Goos and Nathan Roberts, who run Wānaka Horse Trekking amidst the majestic high-country scenery.
