Max Mara Boutique
The freshly redesigned Weekend Max Mara at Metrotown showcases the Italian brand’s new flagship design that favours a chic European flat feel over a fluorescent-lit commercial space. Spanning 1,858 square feet, the refreshed boutique features natural wood, geometric cement tiles, and boiserie in timeless blue. The spring 2024 collection looks flirty and fun in the wallpaper-lined selfie changing room.
Grown Alchemist x Equinox
A new Grown Alchemist x Equinox partnership will now see the Australian-based luxury beauty line stocked in all Equinox gyms globally, for a full body workout whether in the gym or the locker room. Find the minimalist brand’s botanical-based Energize body cleanser, Restorative body cream, Gentle Gel facial cleanser, and Hydra-Restore shampoo and conditioner in apothecary-style bottles for the fit-forward everywhere.
Kits Glasses
Seeing is believing with Vancouver-based Kits glasses, where the middleman is removed to streamline quality glasses into the hands—and onto the eyes—of the beholder. All lenses, like the aviator Lefty pictured, are handcrafted in the brand’s local lab, and because shopping online is often daunting, all glasses can be returned within 30 days.
Eminence Daily Defense
B Corp Eminence Organic Skin Care is free of parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate, and other harsh cosmetic chemicals. Its new Daily Defense—a mineral-based, broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen—comes packed with botanical extracts including rosemary, prickly pear seed oil, and rice bran. With a June 1 launch, the sunscreen arrives just in time for summer safety.
Vacilando Duffle
Montreal-based sustainable Bugatti Bags has been crafting luggage, handbags, backpacks, and briefcases since 1940. Made in water-repellent recycled material, the Vacilando travel duffel suits both weekend globetrotters and staycationers with its Airtag case hidden inside a zippered pocket and separate shoe compartment.
La Prairie Mist
Launching June 1, La Prairie’s limited-edition Caviar-infused mist refreshes, energizes, and smooths skin from a 50-millilitre cobalt blue bottle designed to fit in your bag. Promising to become the perfect travel accessory, it’s summer in a spritz.
Loewe x On Ready-to-Wear
Spanish luxury and Swiss technical prowess join forces in the new ready-to-wear Loewe x On collaboration featuring technical activewear. For exploring rugged landscapes or city streets, the collection includes insulated parkas crafted from a two-and-a-half-layer ripstop fabric, triple-layered waterproof capes, bicycle shorts, and the new Cloudtilt 2.0 sneaker with rubber toe guard.
Red Barn Rosé
Patio season has arrived, and with that, Red Barn introduces its low-intervention, unconventional Transfiction rosé. Whole-cluster-pressed and aged in concrete, this gentle but firm summer sip tastes clean and focused.
