Anthropologie unveils its Made in Kind designers for June including Canadian-made Norwegian Wood and more!
June is creeping up on us, which means it’s time for Anthropologie to unveil its next Made in Kind designer collaboration. This time the exclusive collection is heavy on the graphic details—unique prints (check out the monochromatic polar bear shift from up-and-comer Leah Goren), bold stripes and, true to Anthropologie’s aesthetic, a striking colour palette. We’re especially fond of the Canadian-made Norwegian Wood prints, which were inspired by the tile work found throughout the Montreal subway system.

Online Store of the Week: If you haven’t heard of the Montreal-based Etsy shop Norwegian Wood, you’re in for a Canadian-made treat (and free shipping!)
The lowdown: With fans like Susie Bubble and WORN Journal‘s Serah-Marie McMahon, the Montreal designer Angie Johnson has fashion’s intelligentsia on lock. The success of her Etsy shop, Norwegian Wood, has garnered sweet deals with Topshop Edit and—soon to hit stores—Anthropologie. But I’d rather get it direct from the source, if only for the personalized notes she slips in each brown-paper package.
The price range: $26-$151

Montreal: Shopping up-and-coming names at the Smart Design Mart

The fashion, art and design event “was put together in one month,” says Angie Johnson who, along with her B.F. and business partner, Tyson Bodnarchuk–they are the duo behind Headquarters Galerie + Boutique–hooked up with five like-minded pals to organize a gathering of 50-plus exhibitors. Said Johnson, “Nobody needed another arts and crafts fair. Our idea was to put together a mini-boutique.”
