Our Men’s spotlight week continues, and what guy doesn’t love a good tee? But in a world of t-shirts, some stand to a higher level of standard. Some are made in sweatshops overseas, while some are made right here in Vancouver. Some t-shirts are made with conventional (ie chemically fertilized) cotton, and others are made...Read More

It’s Wednesday, meaning we’re halfway to the weekend, and in need of a bit of a pick-me-up… and there’s just something about jewelry that always helps us stay the course. We all know a well selected piece for a man looks great, so please allow us to introduce one and all to Kolton Babych Fine...Read More

Our aim this week is to spotlight Men’s Fashion, so while we have the pant situation covered (see yesterday’s post), we know a belt can add the finishing touch and a bit of functional flair. KRSD (cursed) Leather’s offerings are statement making, and built to last. Made in Vancouver by Kevin Santarossa, KRSD Leather stands...Read More

It’s back to Monday again, which means a whole new week of designer profiles! This week we are spotlighting our makers with Spring items for men, because we know how hard it is to find good men’s clothing and accessories. After years of hearing the familiar refrain of “there’s nothing for me to buy” at...Read More

It’s the final day of this week where we have celebrated Love, and we couldn’t think of a nicer note to end on than the profile of the super talented Roberto Fioravanti, who has helped so many couples mark their love with his custom designs for weddings, anniversaries and the like… Nothing speaks the same...Read More

Happy Valentine’s Day everybody! We’ve been thinking about Love all week long and today is no different. When we think of Love, we think not only of the romantic kind, we also think of the love we have for nature, which you can’t escape living on the coast as we do, and our love for...Read More

Love is in the air this week, and thoughts of lingerie and all things to make us feel pretty abound…. and then we get our periods! It seems like any possible “fun time”: parties, anniversaries, vacations, road trips, you name it, means our monthly visitor rolls in the door as if we have nothing else...Read More

We’re starting the week anew, and starting a whole new collection of artist profiles, this week we focus on Love, since it’s Valentine’s Day and all! Not just romantic love, but a love of family, culture and self. Since today is Family Day here in British Columbia, I thought it might be nice to kick...Read More

When we get dressed in the morning, we generally don’t consider the fashion designer’s intention, as this is not part of the conversation when it comes to most garments. Garments are made to function, but in most cases, that’s where it comes to a halt. A tag may provide care information, but rarely does it...Read More
