DESKSIDE ESSENTIALS
Keep focused, hydrated and fresh with
these B.C.-made products at your desk
Job Title
This versatile outfit from Aritzia looks like it was
made for getting things done and looking good while
doing it... which is probably why the local brand
named it the Office jumpsuit. $198, aritzia.com
Any Wear
Victoria-based B-Corp
Ecologyst's lineup of
durable, eco-conscious
clothing is made to last—
like the unisex light wool
short-sleeve shirt.
$175, ecologyst.com
Walk the Walk
Picky shoe shoppers, this one's for
you: Vancouver's Blair Shapera offers
custom footwear, so you can
personalize the style, colour, material,
sole and even embroidery on your
kicks. Prices vary, blairshapera.com
Style Staple
Don't yawn just yet—Duer's
Smart Stretch pant is not your
average black trouser. It has a
zippered pocket, silicone waist
(so your shirts stay tucked) and
the Vancouver-based brand's
signature gusset (read: a comfier
crotch fit). $159, duer.ca
Face to Face
The bold and beautiful
Vancouver brand Oge Ajibe
makes clothing in XS to 6XL,
so eye-catching pieces like the
Multicoloured Face day top
are ready for maximalist bods
of all sizes. $130, ogeajibe.com
Hand Lotion from
Sangre de Fruta
Moisturize those
65-word-per-minute
hands with luxurious
lotion from Vancouver's
Sangre de Fruta. (With
alluring options like
"Garden of Earthly
Delights" and "Head
of Roses," you should
maybe keep this one
locked in a filing cabinet.)
$120, sangredefruta.ca
Mugs from Fable
In soothing colours like
midnight blue, dove grey
and blush pink, Burnaby-
based Fable's dishwasher-
safe stoneware mugs are
the ideal vessel for your
daily coffee(s). $85 for set
of 4, fable.com
Deodorant from Nala
This Vancouver-based
brand is fighting natural
deodorant slander one
stick at a time: scents like
peppermint and charcoal,
lemon myrtle and gera-
nium and sandalwood
and bergamot put drug
store options to shame.
$32, nalacare.com
