The Narwhal – Boutique

Stepping into this handsome boutique is like going to your effortlessly cool big sister’s bohemian loft filled with sartorial treasures from all her stylish excusions abroad. This intimate shop houses a collection of well culled designers like Helmut Lang, French line Iro, Preen Line from the UK and Tripp NYC.
Service is pleasantly friendly and I felt so exclusive shopping here as the location is a bit cache, for reference just remember to turn the corner at the newly reno’d Harvest Wagon on Yonge and you’ll see Narwhal beside the beer store.
The selections from the various lines are well curated no trendy/​trashy celeb styles a la (ubiquitously annoying) Kardashians here, more like unique, well made investment pieces that you’ll probably relish wearing for years to come. My favorite pieces are the funky python printed jeans by Tripp NYC ($ 110) and the practical yet oh so chic foldover strapped clutches by Velvetine from France ($ 895).
If you like stylish yet relaxed dressing that sets you apart and enjoy upscale boutique shopping without the upscale attitude, visit the Narwhal, and be prepared to have that cool big sister try and steal your newfound Narwhal style!
