Having been a huge fan of Dagg & Stacey for the past decade, I'm thrilled to be adding the Toronto based line to our collection this season. Dagg & Stacey was founded with a vision to "make clothing that is a subtle balance of enduring, effortless style, quality
craftsmanship, and femininity", which is exactly what they continue to do.......

Wishing everyone a lovely Thanksgiving weekend and please know how very thankful we are for every single one of you choosing to support local artists, designers and small locally owned businesses with your hard earned money. What would Courtenay, and the world for that matter, look like without you? It's a scary thought. Thank you!!

We will be OPEN regular hours this Saturday and Sunday, but CLOSED MONDAY for Thanksgiving.

Quickly becoming a favourite line around here, Nicole Bridger's fall collection is full of gorgeous sustainable fabrics (like tencel, silk, and wool) and easy drapey silhouettes. Ethically made in Vancouver, these styles look great on many different body types and feel amazing. The leggings below have a fleecy soft lining that feels so warm and cozy you don't ever want to take them off!
