Cashmere for only six dollars? Oui, s’il vous plaît! Jacob (jacob.ca) recently debuted its new line of nail lacquers and I’ve already cozied up to Cashmere Cardi, a knockout neutral hue with a hint of pink. Perfect for the boardroom and beyond.

Land a little luxury luggage for the long road ahead at Betty Hemmings (415 Hornby St., 778-329-4321, bettyhemmings.com).

62 DYNASTIES Some of Canada’s most successful fashion families gain their power from within. Laura deCarufel explores their retail roots.

Westons, Mimrans, Budman and Green. There are some Canadian fashion families that are so well documented, their faces are as familiar as Brad’s and Angelina’s. It’s not that we don’t revere these brilliant style mavericks for putting Holt Renfrew, Club Monaco, Joe Fresh and Roots on the map, but in this issue, we wanted to turn the spotlight on some Canadian fashion families you may not be as familiar with. We always assumed there was a Laura, for whom the chain is named, but we didn’t realize she opened shop in 1930. The story of how 100 Jacob stores were born out of a dream is an inspiration. And how marvellous that the Cherry family passed their knowledge of retail down like a precious heirloom to Barry and Deena Weinberg, who run the Max Mara flagship in Toronto.
