We
like to think of our store as a little slice of the Euro-couture life in the
heart of Toronto. Obviously, you have to suspend your disbelief a little bit —
but not as much as you’d think when you make it to the salon at the back of the
store.
We’ve
been entertaining customers, vendors and ourselves in our salon for as long as
we’ve been here (20+ years). And while the furniture and art have changed a
bit, as have the Parisian-style accessories, sitting down for a coffee or a
bite and shooting the breeze with Clarke and/or Dorothea hasn’t changed one
bit.
The
First Cheers of the Day
Every
year on Christmas Eve day, we invite our customers down to the store for a
drink with us. But this year, we’re taking it up a few notches:
•
There’s a yule
log video on the TV to keep us warm.
•
We brought in
Stollen straight from Germany, which is a traditional holiday bread from the
old country made with marzipan and fruit.
•
And, yes, a glass
of wine is still on offer.
And
a well-deserved one at that.
The
year 2016 was different, to say the least, from the political upheaval in the
world to the loss of cultural icons like David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Alan
Rickman and more. We KNOW that 2017’s going to be a great year — starting with
the big changes coming to Manulife Centre (hello, Eataly!)
We
can’t wait to see what the new year brings. But in the meantime, let’s end 2016
together. Come on by for some peaceful relaxation with good food, good music
and good company. We’ll be here waiting with some Stollen and vino in hand!
