Collection item
Grey jacket & floral sundress
Horrockses was manufactured in New Zealand under licence by California Productions (NZ) Ltd. The British label, Horrockses Fashions, was founded in England in 1946. It was a household name by the 1950s and the brand was given the royal warrant in the 1960s. George Courts and his brother John owned several drapery stores in Auckland. By 1902 they had families of their own so brothers amicably divided the businesses. John Court Ltd was located on Queen Street. The George Courts department store operated on Karangahape Road until 1988.
