Now back to the main story:

BoopyDoodle Accessories
What is unique about BoopyDoodle Accessories is it's classic cutesy European vintage crossover Japanese inspired Harajuku girls designs. Owner Amanda Quinn have only landed her first Canadian city - Calgary from Ireland about half a year ago. Brought with her are these colourful and boldly fresh accessories line from the United Kingdom
The presence of BoopyDoodle adds a daring alternative to the somewhat reserved Calgary fashion. Accessories line include necklaces, earrings, bracelets, pins, rings… and stocks are frequently replenished with new designs. Price range from $10-$100, very affordable. One of the greatest things I liked about BoopyDoodle is its versatility to mix-and-match. Depending on the combination of accessories, it brings out each individual character. Although the accessories line serve mainly female fashionistas, I did find several unisex items and got couple of them :).

Pout Clothing
I adore local designs and here is another example: Pout Clothing design by Kristen Summersgill. The brand targets female audience to provide sophisticated and modern Calgarian style. Pout Clothing had participated both Vancouver and Alberta Fashion Week previously, and been featured in various fashion magazines.
To make it truly Canadian, Pout Clothing uses 100% Canadian textiles produced from Vancouver. leather from Montreal, and of course Kristen's designs and sewing skills from Calgary. Kristen learned sewing at a young age using her mother's sewing machine. After completing high school, she went ahead to attend and finish fashion design school in Lethbridge, and subsequently worked her internship with another local brand Broken Doll Clothing.

Kristen launched her own label Pout Clothing four seasons ago, and proven success by establishing her online store as well as placing her fashion products in several retailers across the country (literally from west coast to east coast).
