It’s time to trade auld for new and exchange carols for Carrall Street.
That’s where you’ll find new boutique, Lynn Steven.
What once housed a rowdy saloon where Joe Fortes served drinks some
hundred years prior is now a house of style. Owner Nicole Dennis Durnin
has stocked her shop with brilliant embellished basics, like white tees
covered in studs (Monrow, $105) and little navy dresses adorned with
zippers (Isabel Lu, $160).
There’s also cozy knitwear by local line Granted, gemstone jewellery by celeb-favourite Pade Vavra and, come spring, luxe tops by Toronto designer Erin Kleinberg.
But it’s not just the new product that’s worth stopping in for. In the centre of the store, a circular wall made of 5,600 old books conceals the change room—that’s what you call chic lit.
