Last week, we marked two years of Olive Tan—and we did it the only way we know how: underground, after dark, and dripping in style.
To celebrate, we took over Christchurch’s best cocktail bar, Austin Club—a moody, low-lit spot made for nights like this. For one night only, it was completely Olive-ied: custom cocktails, killer tunes, and a crowd that knows how to turn a look.
The theme was “All That Glitters”, and our people delivered. Sequins, metallics, bold silhouettes—every corner sparkled. From Olive ambassadors to industry legends to our day-one ride-or-dies, the room was full of those who’ve helped build this brand from the ground up.
DJ Fairbrother took care of the sound, keeping the energy up and the dance floor full. Guests were welcomed with a grapefruit cocktail that pretty much stole the show—yes, it was that good. The bespoke cocktail menu hit all the right notes, paired with stacked platters, crispy calamari, and prawn croquettes that didn’t last long.
There was a teddy bear hunt (because we don’t take ourselves too seriously), a quick toast, and a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come—before diving straight back into the chaos.
It was one of those nights where everything just clicks: the clothes, the people, the mood. Nothing forced. Nothing fake. Just real ones celebrating something we’ve built together.
Thanks to everyone who’s been part of the Olive story so far. Two down. Much more to come.
