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.

Lauren Manoogian makes the kind of pieces you can’t help but fall in love with. Her line of delicate knits and statement jewelry, launched in 2010 and all made with organic materials, have a kind of mastery to them that makes wearing them feel special — even on an ordinary Tuesday. She finds inspiration in the process, from sourcing textiles in West Africa to the antiquated looms used to make each piece.
