You can thank ad hoc for keeping Penticton, BC looking fine. Tucked away in the BC wine country, lakeside town, the boutique is stocked with contemporary clothes, shoes and accessories for women. Their style is all about craftsmanship, sustainability, versatility, and elegance. You’ll discover hard-to-find designers like Black Crane, Rachel Comey, Lauren Manoogian and Osei Duro, as well as Canadian talent like Eve Gravel, Mercurial, Valérie Dumaine, Ora C and Ursa Minor.

“Effortless elegance is my eternal goal for my creation,” says Black Crane co-founder Momoko Suzuki. We’re filing this contemporary fashion line under ‘total success’ as we can’t get enough of their sought-after collections. The artful silhouettes on easy basics are a result of combining the Japanese designer’s background in art and architecture with her partner Alexander Yamaguchi’s silkscreen printing and patterning expertise.
