Vic & Albie jewellery organizers are new to our shop and handmade in Vancouver.

Here's a bit about them straight from their website:

Vic & Albie’s affordable line of luxury accessory holders was the lovechild of a desire to couple beauty with the ultimate on-the-go case for the classic modern woman: feminine yet strong, elegant yet sassy. Vic & Albie's original organizers store and protect precious  treasures in style. Compact enough when folded to fit in a handbag or  carry-on for on the go and roomy enough to store your crown jewels at  home, each case features clear pockets for instant assessment of your collection and protects jewelry from silver oxidation
and tangles.

They are available in a variety of fabrics and two different sizes.

Me to We Style and Respecterre

Me to We Style is a new line in our shop of essential basics made in Canada from sustainable fabrics.  Besides making great tees, Me to We also donates 50% of their profits to a charity organization called 'Free the Children' and they plant a tree for every item purchased!

After placing our first Me to We order I received an email that said:  "Thanks again for choosing to purchase ethically with Me to We Style. We will be planting 63 trees on your behalf and you will be saving 21 lbs of pesticides from entering the planet!".  Sounds good to me!  Here are some of the styles we have in.......
