HENRIE: LAURA HARVEY SEPTEMBER 2023 BCBUSINESS.CA 77
PILLOW TALK
"Each brand was using a different name
for the same synthetic fluff," says Larissa
Hildebrandt of her pillow research—that
is, before she launched Vancouver-based
Henrie in 2022. Henrie is super transparent
about what's inside each pillow: the blend of
memory foam and kapok fibre is adjustable,
meaning that customers are encouraged to
remove the filling as required to suit their
own neck needs. henrie.com

PYJAMA PARTY
Best friends Carly
Jefferson and Tlell
Wilson launched Sons in
Vancouver this June (the
name comes from their
shared surname suffix).
The 100-percent cotton
PJs are available in three
floral prints: minty green,
warm yellow and soft pink.

MIDNIGHT OIL
Katherine Evans has a background in
tourism, but when
COVID slowed her industry,
she dove into the world of wellness and
founded her essential oil blend company Tallu
& Co. in February 2021. All of the brand's
ingredients are sourced from Vancouver (it's
a hyper-local operation), and sleep-focused
products include a "Night" roller made with
lavender and chamomile. tallu.ca
LOOM LOOM POW
Inside an unassuming, garage-like structure in
Roberts Creek is Pam Magee's studio: here,
she's been handcrafting intricate, cozy blankets
and throws on reclaimed antique Dobcross
shuttle looms for a decade. Macgee Cloth
weaves lambswool and ringspun cotton the
old-fashioned way, and both the process and the
results are totally mesmerizing. macgeecloth.com
GONE SOFT
Hot take: you can never have too
many throw pillows. Vancouver-
based Tafui McLean's textiles
provide a splash of black-and-
white boldness to your bedroom
setup—each pillow pattern is
inspired by one of her original
paintings. The artist has been
selling home goods under her
eponymous brand since 2014.
