The name may sound naughty, but the goods are decidedly nice. Under the baroque ceiling, trendy young things scoop up such girlie items as leather belts with ornate buckles from Brave ($65), Shannon Hazell earrings ($20–$30), short- and long-sleeved Kersh Ts ($30), and well-cut jeans by Dish ($100). Sisters Nancy and Ondina Carvalho showcase some of Canada’s coolest designer lines in their 19-year-old shop, tempting visitors with Bionic’s flattering wrap dresses ($145) and Brenda Beddome’s much-beloved booty-boosting pants ($80–$150).
