More of a lifestyle than a boutique, One of a Few is a lot like realizing your dream could be a reality. Since opening their doors in 2005 in Vancouver’s Gastown neighborhood, it's been a must on every city shopping tour. You’ll find new labels and artists to love on each visit, including their own in-house label of elevated basics. Plus, owner Michelle Rizzardo is a mother of two, a pioneer in Vancouver's growing fashion scene and one of the coolest women we know.
Brands like The Palatines are just one reason why people say the West Coast is the best coast. Designer Jessica Taft Langdon began by searching for footwear factories in the eastern seaboard to develop her line of American-made shoes but ended up thrilled to find a small enclave of footwear craftspeople and factories in Los Angeles. Before taking the plunge and launching her own label, Jessica worked with an impressive group of brands such as Alexander Wang, Proenza Schouler, and Everlane. This jet-setting designer has called Philadelphia, New York, and Milan home, but created The Palatines with a commitment to local production and an American sensibility. Look for LA-made leather flats, sandals and more with comfort-making details you’d be hard pressed to find anywhere else. We sat down with Jessica to talk about her design process, ballet past and our exclusive collaboration.
