Le Marche Mtl is the best shopping experience going on in town. These two genius women, pictured to the left, who are also the designers for their own amazing line of jewellery, pictured in the image gallery, called Peekaboo Wilcox, have brought together a truly unique venture. Marche Mtl plays host to a cornucopia of local talent that changes every week, so every time we go shop there there’s probably gonna be new stuff by different designers. Sound too good to be true? But wait there’s more; EVERYTHING is AWSOME!!! and it’s unlikely you’ll find this stuff anywhere else….

Ritual Designs Does Fashion Show
Ritual Designs.com: Custom Corsetry and Future Fashions blew me away with their newest collection. A wonderfull combination of vibrant colours, textures and cuts. Bang on.
