New arrivals

This has been an exciting week in URBANITY!  We received some wonderful coats and triangular scarves (pictured) from Ivko.  The colours are amazing and attracting a lot of attention (click on the images to get a closer look.) We also received some really funky coats from Swedish Olars Ulla.  All items are not available anywhere else in Vancouver.  A variety of very cute alpaca scarves that I bought back in March arrived --  fabulous for Christmas presents -- so soft and colourful.

Our Halloween window!

Thanks again to Hills Native Art in Gastown for providing us with a mask for our Halloween window.  This year we only had one mask because we only had one mannequin in the window.  The mask was carved by William Watts, and is astounding!

Tomorrow is VIP night in South Granville.  Click on the link to see who is participating.   Bring your friends for a great evening.

VIP shopping night Nov. 3rd from 5.30 - 8.00 pm

An evening of shopping on South Granville with refreshments and specials.

We have invited Lemon Park to hold a trunk show as part of the VIP shopping night in URBANITY.

Lemon Park is a Vancouver based jewellery design business that started in the fall of 2006.  Created by two sisters, Penny and Tania Gleave, Lemon Park takes a bold, modern and adventurous approach to their jewellery designs.  Their unique pieces are designed and created in their studio in Vancouver.

We've got a name!

This morning, bright and early, our name got put on the building above the window!!!  It was a day to celebrate!  With the sign came a new energy, and people have been streaming in all day.  There is nothing like having a NAME!!!

I often get asked the question.......

...what should I wear under my Oleana cardigan?
Oleana makes matching shells, and short sleeved tops in the same colourways as the cardigans, but some people prefer to wear cotton.  The designer, Solveig Hisdal  often wears a blouse casually, over her skirt or pants, as can be seen here when she was in Vancouver last year opening the exhibition "Beyond Borders"

and socks for babies too!

Today I received the long awaited leggings (footless tights) that I had hoped for in July!  And in the box were tiny little baby b.elle socks for boys and girls made from cashmere, angora, wool, viscose.....  they are just tooo cute!  Remember that we still carry baby blankets from OLEANA!!

Treading lightly into Autumn

                                 

It always amazes me how trees begin to change colour on the Labour Day weekend telling us that the season has officially changed!   We have had a wonderful summer and despite the changing leaves, we can expect to enjoy late summer for a while yet. 

We might not be ready for sweaters and winter coats, yet everybody is getting ready to layer, and even though it is nice for our toes to be bare, colourful socks are a lovely way to start getting ready for winter.

Just arrived are wonderful coloured socks from b.ella made from wool, cashmere, angora.  More cotton socks have arrived from Ozone.

Along with the wonderful array of tights from Danish Sneaky Fox, we have almost everything you might wish for.  I say almost, because I am getting a lot of requests for leggings!  So leggings are on their way.

These items make great (Christmas) presents!
