That’s what international
visitors have to choose from
as souvenirs of Canada: And —
that doesn’t sit well with Kate

* Brown, an industrial designer.
by trade who has an interest

- she

in made-in-B.C. design.

A Point Grey resident,
Brown has opened Lifestyle
West at Lonsdale Quay.
Located on the second level,
overlooking the harbour, the
shop stocks clothing, jewelry,
home furnishings and gift-
ware. All of it is handmade in
B.C.

“1 thought it was time
that the designers and manu-

facturers in the province were

to meet the needs of all the
tourists,” says Brown, who
has found since opening
Lifestyle West two weeks ago
that not just visitors but
ocals are interested in what

she has in store.

The boutique’s fashions
are made for wear by “every-
day people,” not just model-
types, says Brown, who
designs linen jackets and
fleecewear as well as a collec-
tion of sterling silver jewelry.

Also available are Fraser
Valley designer Angela
Morrow’s Pickled Toes line
of casual clothing, linen
nightshirts by Diane, and

Nicole Adrienne will be
closing its doors at 15th and
Lonsdale, but not before
holding a huge blowout sale

of past seasons’ fashions.

The Vancouver-based
chain store is changing with
the times. Hot on the success
of their new Kitsilano bou-
tique Vivid, partners Nicole
and Marcus Taylor plan to
bring the new store to the
North Shore.

With its clean, modern
look and focus on hip, young
accessories, Vivid has been a
hit with West Side style seek-
ers. If all goes as planned, the
Lonsdale Nicole Adrienne
will be converted to a Vivid
boutique by the fall. Until
then, all fashions at the store
are up to 70% off. A new
shipment arrived Friday.
