Five and a half years ago was a ballsy time to open a new retail shop in Vancouver - add a massive city infrastructure project on the same street and now you're really talking. However, Caroline Boquist and Daniel Kozlowski did just that when they opened WALRUS. We met them shortly after opening when our worlds intersected, and we've been friends ever since. The store is well-loved by passers-by and loyalists alike because of the excellent product mix and friendly & knowledgeable staff, all packed into a cozy space on Cambie Street. Cursor & Thread: How’s your summer been? How’s the neighbourhood? Daniel Kozlowski: Summer has been great! It’s sunny out and people are happy! C&T: Congratulations on the success of the last 5+ years! Do you remember where you were the moment you officially...
We're thrilled that our bow ties are now available in Portland, Oregon at one of our favorite shops, Woonwinkel! The superstars at Woonwinkel have been open for 3 years now, and have always focused on well made, handcrafted creations made by independent designers and small companies.
Equally as exciting, Woonwinkel are the first account on the planet to receive items from our brand new Summer Line, including styles you'll come to know as the Harris Chambray, the Summer Sand S'n'P and the new Bike Bow! (Fun fact: Woonwinkel means "home shop" in Dutch.)
We've had the pleasure of knowing, the always well-dressed, quick-witted and polite, Jeff Brodawka for the better part of a decade now. For the first time in that relationship we managed to make record of a recent conversation in his wonderful boutique Brodawka & Friends in Toronto which he opened to the world two years ago. Cursor & Thread: Can I buy you a beverage? What's your first choice? Jeff Brodawka: Espresso - but it would have to be in Italy, so that's on you. C&T: Do you remember where you were the moment you decided to open the first shop? Can you remember the feeling? JB: Yep, I was at a shoe show and paid a visit to the...
We've enjoyed Musette Caffè since they opened, so we're chuffed to announce that their store is now carrying Cursor & Thread braces and bow ties, including an exclusive colourway of our popular Bike Bow! Musettè is a bike-friendly coffee bar with two locations in Vancouver, Canada. Regardless of its theme, all are welcome, from coffeeheads to racing nuts, commuters to families. The coffee and food are outstanding and the environment is fun and engaging for all ages, resulting in a culture that you want to spend time in.
We're thrilled to announce that Cursor & Thread Bowties are now well stocked in Gravity Pope Tailored Goods Edmonton. Gravity Pope Edmonton had carried clothing in the store since 1992, but in 2007 it warranted its own store in the historical Crawford Block building on Gateway Boulevard. Filled with unique and beautiful brands, not to mention knowledgable and friendly staff, the store boasts a dedicated and fashionable following. Pop in and start a conversation, a new corner of your wardrobe, and maybe a revolution!
