Oh, Canada!
ELIZA FAULKNER
When you’ve worked with fashion greats like Erdem, Zandra Rhodes and Rouland Mouret, it shows. Canadian designer Eliza Faulkner’s namesake line of clothing for the elegant sportif launched in 2012 after she moved home to British Columbia after living and working in London. We love the architectural silhouettes and playful, feminine feel of her timeless dresses and separates.
WREN
Located on the picturesque Bowen Island off the coast of Vancouver, Wren is a contemporary fashion boutique with a focus on modern sustainable Canadian designs. Seeking to provide classically effortless and wearable fashions that reflect upon one's lifestyle, Wren has developed a loyal fan base of local residents and visitors. Owner Erin Norgan stocks the boutique with contemporary, timeless and uncomplicated women's wear and accessories.
COREY MORANIS
Corey Moranis is a Canadian designer who handcrafts Lucite jewelry and accessories. She’s drawn to Lucite for its ethereal nature; it seems to float but has a solid presence, and its luminous effect changes with the light from day to night. Crystalline and prismatic, the playful loops, knots, and twists of her elemental pieces are informed by the medium itself, making a modern statement with a whisper. Each Corey Moranis piece is one of a kind - a hand-bent, wearable work of art.
GRAYS

NOBLE GENTLEMAN
Noble Gentlemen was founded in Vancouver, BC, by two brothers who combined their experience in marketing and love of high-quality menswear to create a new shopping experience. The shop is a collection of specialty and emerging brands that focus on exciting pieces, valuing innovation over trends. Inclusion is also important, with womenswear and unisex goods rounding out the selection.
MINNOW BATHERS
Design duo Vanessa Warrack and Karen Donaldson teamed up to make swimwear for real women back in 2010. The result? Curve-loving bikinis and one-pieces with faded florals, neon prints, punk rock graphics, and cutouts. After returning home to Toronto from studying fashion design in different cities, the duo found themselves making swimsuits for friends, and Minnow Bathers was born. They're dedicated to not just making swimwear, but creating a summer uniform that girls can hike, camp, lounge, swim, and feel totally confident in. Plus, $2 of each sale is donated to the Save Our Seas Foundation. We love it.

Their goal is to start a new dialogue around the word "handmade," one that celebrates both the aesthetics and the story behind each piece. Throughout each season, they feature a rotating selection of carefully sourced textiles and ceramics from around the world, while also hosting lectures and discussions about the featured work.

Their style is characterized by craftsmanship, versatility, innovation, and elegance. You’ll discover renowned indie designers, as well as homegrown Canadian talent to fall in love with.
NEIGHBOUR
This is one of those boutiques where you could spend a long time just standing in, wishing you could live there. Woman, a sleek and modern shop, is a block away from their brother men's wear boutique, Neighbour. Focusing on quality over quantity and trends, both shops stock the pristine shelves and racks with some of our favorite designers.
