Take a peek inside the new location of Vancouver fashion boutique Neighbour Women.
since 2015 was just that: a pleasant place to sift through racks of beautiful clothing for a few hours, discovering staples and statement pieces and artful objects: “what we admire,” as co-owner Karyna Schultz puts it simply. But in its new location on Cordova, the Gastown boutique has levelled up—think double the square footage, lofty ceilings and natural light—and that artfully curated collection of womenswear now has a little elbow room.
“It just elevates everything we have,” says Schultz, who runs Neighbour’s mini-empire with husband Saager Dilawri. The home-goods shop Neighbour Object remains on Powell, while the menswear-focused Neighbour is over on Water Street. “It’s funny how a space can just give everything room to breathe and highlight everything we carry.”
And what Schultz has in the new location is just as delightful as the selection in their former spot. Rails hang with eccentric, pleated shirts from Berlin’s Julia Heuer, oversized wool sweater vests from Antwerp’s Howlin’ and drapey black tees from Parisian brand Lemaire. The new space is a former Union Bank—a single-storey Edwardian gem built in 1911. Designers Olivia Bull and Dan Garrod of Oddo gave the interiors a refresh to create a clean backdrop for the pieces on offer. Chic furniture like Charlotte Perriand stools and a Cassina Soriana sofa designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa were selected not only for their design sensibility but also for their backstory.
.“She’s a really cool Dutch designer who tries to use as many upcycled materials as she can,” says Schultz.Nubbly and slouchy, it’s a cardi that’s light enough for spring but still comfy-cozy.. “The fabrics are great,” says Schultz. “And it’s all made in Canada.”. Is this the sign you’ve been waiting for to enter your Granny Chic era?
