The Boss of You

I hate to start off blog posts with excuses, but this one really needs a lit­tle ’splain­ing as it were. I con­tacted Jean­nette Ordas, a local Van­cou­ver designer/blogger/all-round-crafty-gal back in early July with this idea that I would run a local sum­mer series of pro­files of some of my local indie busi­ness hero­ines. Then my […]

I fell head over heels in love with Becky’s (aka Tor­tilla Girl) designs when I came across them on one of those hap­pen­stance web searches. At the time I was actu­ally look­ing for a bag for per­sonal use and came across this beauty, but then quickly became entranced by her cloth­ing line. In par­tic­u­lar her […]

This pro­file, of one of my absolute favourite local cloth­ing design­ers, kicks off our Boss Lady Pro­files sec­tion (in truth we pro­filed a few gals eons ago, but given the long period of dor­mancy it seems hardly fair to count those). Even­tu­ally we’ll branch out, but for starters we’ll be pro­fil­ing some of the truly […]

Before we jump into a pro­file of Luna­pads, I would like to take a moment for some full dis­clo­sure. One of the things we are most excited about with this whole project (the web­site and book) is the oppor­tu­nity to meet other busi­ness women, this pro­file how­ever is of some very dear friends. In fact, […]
