Five womenswear-friendly brands we wish would open up flagships in Toronto but, for whatever reason, are not

LOVER

This is one of the freshest brands to come out of Australia (or anywhere) in years, and we would gladly battle with ravenous dingoes if it meant better access to their lines. Not only is there no flagship store in Australia, but they don’t even ship anywhere outside of Oz. They’re carried by Rac and Robber here in town, but even they only get a couple of pieces. Where else can we get such exquisite leather shorts, nude silk smocks, bizarre rompers and the perfect pair of white summer trousers? Nowhere.

Closest competition: Carte Blanche, because Tania Martins currently has the tough/cool girl look pegged with her brand Pink Cobra (and there’s very little local competition).

Online store: Womp womp. That means no.

  5. Colette should never expand. The fact that it has one shop in the entire world is what makes it so special. The exclusivity is its biggest selling point. It shouldn’t come here.. we should be the ones going there.
