Portobello Market re-opened at Creekside Community Center this weekend. The new location is an excellent shift and seems to have brought new vendors and new shoppers too. It's visible from the street which is good for marketing and traffic, it's bright, it's a gorgeous location and it breathes much needed life into the Olympic Village. Parking is fine if you don't mind walking a couple blocks, exploring that area is pleasant so certainly no complaints there.
There are some new organic fashion finds on the roster including these little beauties, Loop Neckwear created by Michelle English. Michelle started out by constructing an original Christmas gift for her sister out of a t-shirt and then requests started pouring in for more. Since then she has evolved her Neckwear into a beautifully presented fashion piece.
The great news is she is now offering her fabric necklaces/scarves in eco-friendly fibers such as bamboo viscose, soy viscose and modal. These are the colors available in those textiles: grey, fushia, cream, white, slate and mink.
Would love to tell you they are available online but it doesn't seem so as of yet. If the option to ship them anywhere in Canada and the US arrives Shirtseed will be sure to post the link. Until then, you can find Loop Neckware at Lüt boutique or Parliament Interiors Gastown.
