Saturday, August 10, Radjuli will be joining us for a one-day-only Trunkshow and Sale at Favourtie Gifts boutique in North Vancouver. Those of you, who have previously visited our Trunkshows, this time will be surprised to see the store looking all different for this event.

Fluid and strong: Our Khela bag and Radjuli's Bookbag

Radjuli’s designs have made a name for themselves  by distinct look of raw leather edges, incorporated old cowboy belts, rivets, keys, locks and other odd animal pieces.  Juli gives meaning to  random parts that, may seem like they do not even belong together. Her designing world is so different from ours. Where our imagination ends, hers begins.

Trunkshow recap

When things get this busy, there is hardly any time to say our proper thanks...
So here we are - all thankful to those, who came out to our first individual Trunkshow, with wine, cheese and purses; to our lovely host, Favourite Gifts boutique, and the Fall sunshine that made the day even more beautiful...

Here are a few snaps I took during the set-up:


We had taken over the shop!  Patchwork, sale items, samples and coin pouches - all decked out in the centre of the Boutique...

The Sample rack had some of the best deals to date - 45%  to 60% off on prototypes and one-off designs. You can check out the Tosca sample at our Webshop.

I've brought in extra stock for the Permanent Collection designs. Khela and Tasmain are always at the Webshop...

Sarah bags and new, one-off burlap designs... 

Belts, two section coin pouches (called Feather Lights) and more deals on samples...

In mid-afternoon, the refreshments came. I had to make sure I take a picture of the set-up before everyone digs in... Red + white, fruit juice, water, 3 kinds of cheese, M&Ms, and fruit. This is so far the most festive set-up I had for any event...

This picture was taken by Customer from the Trunkshow, after she flew back home to the Prairies. Her new - and our final, Katie, The Bag on a snowy deck in it's new home. We could not feel more gratified...

Missed this event? - our next one will take place next Thursday, November 29 at the Ayala Moriel Parfums studio... Refer to our Website for all inquiries, more info is coming up soon...

There will be lots of extra stock, besides what Favourite already carries, lots of new stuff we've just built, further discounts on sale items and samples (up to 60%, really), and even rare 15% deals on Permanent Collection... Some discounts will be at the Webshop as well for the day, so, tune in.

Multi-sectional Feather Lights

One-offs and samples - 35% - 45% off

15% of Permanent Collection
