A Modern Approach to Function

  2. Clean conscience. Vegan leather.
  3. Quality. I have seen 10 year old bags waltz in with their owner and they are still in great shape.
  4. Canadian. ‘nuff said.

Come in and tell me what you think of the line. It’s always nice to get feedback from you.

Happy Long Weekend!

Sketching

shapeimage_1 (1)I had lost touch with drawing over the last few years. So it was pretty nice to sit down at the drawing table, with fabric swatches and actually draw with a line in mind. Three and a half years of retail in Kitsilano has given me some insight into your fashion requirements. Together we have discussed the hits and the misses, the holes and floods, the fits and the misfits. Thank you for taking the time to discuss what you like and dislike, it helps immensely.

So this is just a little glimpse of what I have been working on. Stay tuned for more updates.

Happy August 2015.
