Every time I’m in Vancouver, I always make sure I stop by my favorite Gas Town district – home to beautiful, eclectic, and sometimes secretive boutiques. Back in June, I created a My Seatte: Fave Local Hot Spots post based on my favorite eateries, shops, and things to do in the city and I hope to someday soon create one for a My Vancouver:
Today, I’d like to spotlight the boutique and label (212) run by Anthony Castro and Scott Walhovd. This post was inspired by their feature on Fashionista this morning and after I saw it, I felt I needed to make a post about them too! They first opened their boutique back in 2005, but it wasn’t until the Fall of 2009 that the duo decided to create their own private label. Although they are based in Vancouver, their clothes can be found at nearly 30 retailers in North America including Brooklyn’s Dear Fieldbinder and at their own boutique.
Castro and Walhovd will also be moving back to New York this fall, and that makes me a little bit sad because I absolutely adore their Vancouver store. Hopefully, they can find someone to run it when they’re gone.
