The pop-up will feature the entire summer collection (like Metallic Lizard and Azul Nubuck leather, as well as the new Strappy Sandal) and the men’s collection.

Book online for a personal fitting or drop in.
Event went swimmingly
Vancouver swimwear line Nettle’s Tale held a media opening for Neighbourhood Quality Goods in Mount Pleasant, which will carry the locally made line. The May 27 event, called the Strong Suit Challenge, was held to inspire women to love their bodies. Along with Nettle’s Tale, the new store opening on Friday, at 4301 Main St., carries MH by Melanie Hull, Harlow Skin Co., Balsam and Vine, Here & Now Botanicals, and Dani Press.
Keepin’ it classy
Kent Street Apparel, a small, independent men’s apparel shop, is expanding. To meet the need for more space, founder and shopkeeper Glyn Lewis is moving the business to an industrial work/live loft in the same Mount Pleasant neighbourhood at #408 - 338 W. Eighth Ave. Kent Street Apparel offers classic, timeless yet-forward thinking style with a goal to charm and inspire.
