With chilly weather right around the corner, many of us are worried about the lack of warm items hanging in our closets. Now is the optimal time to add a few layers, sustainable knits, and a beanie (or two) to your collection. These five shops, found along West 4th, can provide you with the clothing, footwear, and accessories you will need to brave the colder fall and winter months.
Anián
Best known for its warm and comfortable t-shirts and outerwear, Anián has high-quality garments for all genders. The fabrics used to craft each piece are recycled natural fibre textiles sourced from landfills, reducing fabric waste and changing the fashion industry. Anian is transparent about its manufacturing, providing shoppers with the peace of mind that their new, stylish clothing is not contributing to the planet’s waste problem.
Hill’s Dry Goods
Hill’s Dry Goods has a fascinating history—the store opened its doors in 1914 and was later purchased by the Hill family in 1945. The family is known for their experience in Vancouver retail, and their expertise is reflected in the assortment of items found in their stores. Hill’s Dry Goods carries many famous brands like Ganni and Levi’s, as well as some smaller brands for you to discover and fall in love with.
Judith & Charles
Judith & Charles is named after the couple who started the brand. Each collection is a fusion and contrast of feminine softness and strength that draws inspiration from the structure of classic menswear. Every Judith & Charles piece aims to help folks feel confident, comfortable and empowered. Around 80 percent of the design and manufacturing process occurs in Vancouver, which supports the local economy and sustainability.

And as a Canadian business themselves, The Latest Scoop carries tons of other Canadian brands in stores and online. Whether you are looking for a cozy sweat suit or a colourful party dress, The Latest Scoop has it all.
