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.
It all began with a slip on inspired by the languid beach culture of Mexico. Vayarta is the brainchild of Uday Kak, Sarada Ravindra and Andre Wiesmayr. We seriously love the brand’s sleek, minimalist styles. Is it a slipper? Is it a shoe? It’s a little of both. Every shoe is handmade in Mexico out of high quality leather and the minimalist, unisex styles look polished enough to be office appropriate but are comfy enough to be deemed weekend worthy. Seriously, they will look just as cute with culottes and a slinky cami as they will with a pair of shredded jeans.
