Evelyne Shannon Drouin is passionate about fashion, but not just any kind.
The clothing she sells in her beautiful store is made in Canada.
Although each item in the collections of 17 brands offers its own unique style,
each shares the same attributes. The material is natural; the item must be highly original and a Canadian-made creation. In fact, she sells brands from Quebec, BC and Ontario.
“We go for distinct styles. Most of our clothings is made from natural fibres. This feels lovely against the
skin. We have classic cuts that fit, flatter and enhance the client’s
silhouette. There is something for every body type. We want our clients to come
and shop here for one-of-a kind clothes and accessories that make them feel
good and lifts their mood.”
Variety
in Canadian Clothing Content
Walking into her store, I felt a cocoon of calm settling over me. The notably
distinct clothing designs had their own natural allure. The classic, the dainty and the different delighted my eye and had its ‘wow’
effect’ on me. I looked forward to wearing a creation that
was completely made in Canada
and cut locally with care and love
“People should know that our
clothes do not come from any sweat shop. Nothing is made overseas. Everything
is ethically and locally made and most items are made from natural fibers.”

I discovered that natural neutral colours are key to sophistication and
subtlety.
I loved the long-sleeved dress shirt sporting gentle blue stripes. Then
again, a colourful blouse and a polka dot number beckoned me.
Everything is unique, and because of the
high standards of quality, the collections are timeless keepers. Whether it be a pant suit, a print dress or a stand-out top, you’ll
discover this store has widespread product. Evelyne coyly showcased some items.
She herself was wearing a pant suit designed by Birds of North.

Moving to the left area of the boutique, my eye caught a catchy corner
of greeting cards. You’ll find some whimsical post cards with wonderful phrases
on the front – each referring to different situations. Of course everything is
hand-made in the maple-leaf nation.
Take a look at the cute baby bibs and kiddie clothes near the cards.
Talk about style for toddlers!
Foodie and Spice Connoisseurs
Brimming in gifts, the store has widespread product appeal. There’s a
variety of bitters within the collection of mixology. Syrups and La Pincée – a line
of mixed spices, peppers and fresh ground herbs in single jars certainly make
an original gift. Also on the foodie table are attractive containers for butter,
garlic, salt and sundry containers.
Foodie accessories abound here.

pot-pourri of Canadian-made goodie

add variety pop, not to mention snooze comfort.

Jewellery…
Simple and stunning
Finally, the extraordinary jewellery is beautiful to behold, it has a
quiet dazzle factor. The glittering pair of gold quartz earrings yanked my
chain. Long earrings with slither thin lace had its own exotica, as did the
wonderful wood pendants of the necklaces. Organic and original, they seemed to
embody Evelyne’s philosophy of natural simplicity. These treasures are also framed on the wall, so look up and down at the showcase to find what suits you.
